“bikes,” not “mikes”

I always shut my mikes off by turning the key.  My thought is to only use the kill switch in an emergency, like falling over, etc.

 

But perhaps Phil at Erico’s can enlighten us?

Is it bad to shut it off with the key???

J/k Chris. FWIW I never use mine either.  When I took the ERC in 2009 the instructors were always on me for shutting off my engine with the key instead of the kill switch.

So the bike wouldn't start with the kickstand up and not in neutral. So, I put it in neutral and everything starts fine. Not sure what happened, or if I'll have problems down the road, but that's where I'm at.

 

ps - I have no idea where my kill switch is, or even if I have one. :)

I'll confess to accidentally hitting the kill switch at different times and then wondering why the bike will not start!

One precaution that I take prior to washing a bike is to put black electrical tape over the ignition keyhole, just to make sure that no water gets into the ignition switch.  I think I learned that trick from Peter Sharp . . .
