Key won’t go to ignition

I'm glad I've never done anything stupid like accidentally hitting the kill switch doing 70mph on the interstate in HEAVY traffic. And not know what happened while I sat on the side of the road while cars and trucks zoomed by. Yeah, that was fun.

That accidental kill switch hit has left many a rider sitting beside the road scratching his head.

I once had an electrical failure in the Engine Kill circuit that was intermittent on sharp turns and freeway motion.

In the latter situation, the engine would shutdown and restart in an [expected] erratic fashion, but a symptom was a noticeable engine backfire.
