I read the manual...

I guess I missed the part where it said the kill switch was only good for messing with your buddies.

Seriously, the kill switch is just easier for me and I don't leave my keys in the bike, so I don't have to worry about draining the battery.

And now that I think about it, I do leave the bike in gear, so I guess I use 3 devices.

 

Key

 

+1 really depends on the day, but i always leave my bike in gear when i park it and sometimes i park it on a hill so it's easier just to hit the kill switch first and then turn off the key. sometimes i'll just turn off the key, but i've been using my kill switch first for years and no harm done.

+1 on leaving keys in ur bike?? i mean if i'm right there sometimes i will leave my keys in it, but i'm usually not stopped long either.

 

You do know that if you lower your kickstand with the bike in gear it will do the same as the kill switch right? I do this all the time when I park on a incline. Just pull up in first. Pull the clutch, drop the kickstand, let out the clutch and take out the key.

You guys really are making it more difficult then it needs to be.[8D]

 

yes, i do know that and have used that technique on more than one occasion, but i tend to stick to my old habbits and my first bike didn't shut off w/ the kick stand so i don't usually use that much. force of habbit :P

 

i put the stand down while in gear, then kill switch, then key, then i pull off the seat, remove the battery and take it with me...and the key too.

why? cause i'm baller...

 

My favorite is still the "stunna drop".

I watched a guy do it on a group ride. He pulled up to the group. Got off the bike, and walked away. It falls over and dies. No need for a key, switch, or kickstand. Of course this bike was caged, held together by zip tied and beated with an ugly stick.

 

doesn't that take away from your riding time?? lol if i did that at every stop i'd never bother riding.

 

lmao!!!

 

I stuff some rags into the airbox until the motor suffocates, then I usually follow the above procedures.
