Of course, since then I’ve learned that with some of the newer ECU bikes kill switches are bad for the way the ECU takes and stores information about how the bike is running.

Dan: I think the point of the MSF training is to instill an "automatic" reaction to shutting down the bike, the thought being that in an emergency you won't have time to think about a different way of shutting the bike off, you'll just automatically do it the way you've gotten into the habit of doing it.I'm not sure why the kill switch is preferred over the ignition key - my two guesses would be:1. By shutting off the ignition you reduce risk of fire, or2. Because you can flick the kill switch with your thumb without removing your hands from the handlebars, reducing the chance that you'll lose control, whereas turning a key always requires removing either the left or right hand from the handlebar.Anyway, as I said those are guesses.

Subject: RE: [emrat:4226] Bike won't start after washingI 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?DanFrom: emrat@googlegroups.com [mailto:emrat@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brandon Hinds

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.

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 . . .
