I have never used the kill switch on any of my bikes. The only time the kill switches have ever been flipped to the "OFF" position is when I accidentally bump it while washing the bikes. Seems like a waste of wire putting the switches on the bikes.

kill/run switch, I think that is why they call it that or it would be labeled the turn it off here if you want too or turn it off with the other switch, switch.

Same here -- if parked on a hill I will leave in 1st and use the bar kill switch--Oh and try to remember to turn off the ign switch to save the batt.
