Default Engine stop switch

Don't think this one has been asked before. I always turn mine on and off when starting and shutting off my bike. What do you do?

Yea it was posted a while ago. O well. I use the key pretty much all the time, except when i want to leave it in gear to park then i use the kick stand. I never use the kill switch.

I NEVER use my kill switch but when me and my buddy switch bikes for a quick ride he Always uses it so when i get back on my bike it takes a second to figure out why the damn thing won't turn over.

Owners manual says to use the key. MSF says use the switch. I just stall it in gear.

ui believe its called an EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH for a reason. just because you are too lazy to turn the key does not constituite an emergency.

There is no point, you have to turn the key eventually anyways...

How many dumbos don't park it in gear either?
