Do you use the Emergence Handle Bar On/Off Switch

Why ? Why Not ?

Meaning,

I leave the Handle Bar Switch ON and use the Ignition/Headlamp Switch 100%..........

Good ?? Bad ??

 

On my Vulcan 750 I always used the Kill switch, which was. Big and red. It was easy to locate in any light. On my FLHTCUI I use the kill switch to stay in the habit, but not at night. First time I used it at night I accidently hit start, which probaby cut some teeth down or off. So in dark, I will turn off with igntion switch.

 

I've had two trusted mechanics tell me that the kill switches are problematic and will give you trouble from too much use.B both recommended I always use the ignition switch to shut it off.

 

They both interupt the same circuit so really doesn't matter it's more of a personal preference or habbit.

 

My dealer recommended using the kill switch as he said if you don't use it it may become faulty.

 

I only use the kill switch in certain situations, very seldomly. Have known a lot of people trying to start thier bike and can't figure out what's wrong, 90% of the time it's the kill switch. Imagine having one in a car,lol.

 

I always use the ignition switch.
Why?Why not.

 

NOT True:

Look in your Owners Manual - Page 142 - 144 of the 2009 Touring Models

 

I have been told by no less than 3 Tuners, to leave the Handle Bar switch On, and leave it alone as they have seen troubles with it if used to much.

 

Always used iton my old '06 Raod Glide that had 55,000 miles.No issues.
