Default Kill switch??

Hey all you technical and mechanical guru's out there! I found an aftermarket manual switch under the seat and can't figure out what it's for. It does not seem to turn off any lights (that I can tell), no fuel reserve (I don't think), so I am totally confused! The bike did come with a Cyclone brand security system, however I have tried to flip the switch with the alarm working and without and nothing seems to happen. Oh and it's a 2001 929rr. Any ideas?? Pic attached

Thanks!!

have you figured this out yet?
i know on a car you can put an alarm overide switch in for the times you loose your remote or battery dies or what have you. its so you can turn the engine on and drive it home without the alarm blasting.
or it could simply be something the prev owner took out like aux lights or something simple.
i would also say follow the wire to see where it goes.

Well thanks for all the ideas, was able to dive deeper and follow the wires to... Nowhere. They aren't connected to anything.
