Any good reason not to bypass kill switch

[Fjbj40]

My wife picked up contact cleaner yesterday. It was 9 freagin dollars!! I guess now I am obligated to use it. Ugh ... If I knew it would have been 9 dollars I would have just broke out the solder iron.

Anyone think of other stuff to do on the bike with my rather expensive can of stuff. Has to be some other crap I can sray.

IPA is a good replacement for contact cleaner if you don't feel like spending the $9! However, that can, if used properly will last a long time!

As for the kill switch, I have never had one fail and I am talking from snowmobiles to boats to bikes, never a failure. Some of them do require periodic maintenance as others have said. A simple spray down with IPA or contact cleaner and a corrosion inhibiting compound of some sort and it will last a long time. My 1000 still has the original and it works just fine.

What about passing a safety inspections? I know they are required here and most provinces I have owned motorcycles in.
What about liability with your insurance company, let's say there is an accident and it could have been prevented if you had you kill switch? Your insurance will then not cover you!

Just fix the frigging thing, it's 30 plus years old!
