Sometimes the kill switch if I am on a hill with the bike in gear and my left foot down already. Otherwise my right hand goes straight to the tank switch every time.

I hate using the kill switch because of the chance of getting the rpms stuck at 3k next time I fire up the bike. Damn Fly by wire [:@]

I was using just the igniton switch but my dealer told me to use the kill switch as it may stop working if not used. Kinda crazy but now I use both when I remember.
