i use the kill switch, often i will put it in neutral and then 'kill it' while i am still rolling. ie. right before i get to into a parking spot or into my garage. i have not had another bike so i dont know, but my bike wont let me take the key out until the handlebars are turned all the way left. so if i am going to stop like this i have to use the kill switch. when i park in my garage, i just leave the keys in the ignition(in the off position of course)

I only use the kill switch! Just seems the proper way of turning it off.

I used the kill switch once on my old bike and left the key on for about an hour and a half with the headlight on, but it still had enought juice to start. Since then I always use the key or if parking someplace it might roll I use the kickstand to make sure its in gear.

I guess I'm just not as much a creature of habit as everyone else. I don't always do it one way or the other. Sometimes it's the key, sometimes the kill switch.

Either the key or if it might roll just leave it in gear and drop the kickstand down!
