    "I thought"......the starter wasn't part of the kill switch circuit, kill was only for the coils?
    Stated a bit simplified and generic to allow for the R6 which may have wiring a bit different to our GS-es : power comes from the battery. runs to ignition switch.
    From the ignition switch, on to the kill switch and from there, both coils and starter button are powered.
    So the kill switch usually kills power to the coils which makes the engine stop, and also stops power to the starter button to prevent cranking with no power to the coils.
    Looking at it that way, the starter is part of the kill switch circuit. Hope that makes sense.
