Learned something new!

I use the kill switch to turn off my bike every time. It's just part of my routine. I think of it like an aviation checklist:

1. Flip kill switch
2. Turn off ignition
3. Kickstand down
4. Get off bike

Flipping the kill switch to "run" is part of my startup procedure as well. That way I _know_ it's in the right position, regardless of whether or not my 7 year-old son has been pretending to be a motorcycle racer/combatant lately.

That's exactly what I do, never thought of it as an AVIATION checklist but yeah, its routine for me to do the same everytime in the same order of steps, if not it throws me off.

Am I the only one that has, more than once, killed the bike with the kill switch then walked away forgetting to turn the ign. off & returned to a dead batt. For that reason I try to not use that switch. Worried about wearing the switch out? Yes, I worry about that as much as I worry about wearing the light switches in my house.

I've done it more than once... Fortunately it never killed the battery though. Never get in a hurry when you're riding.
