Hey guys,
Made it to Kanab, UT without a problem. Should be home by tomorrow.
For the record, I never use the kill switch to shut off the bike. The only time I did was when that deer knocked my over a few years ago.
Back in the olden days I used to do that, until the switch fell apart and I couldn't get my old KZ to start. Since then I've maintained a hands off policy.
There's no guarantee that this fix is going to last, so I think I'm just going to replace it when I get home. Just for my own peace of mind.
This is the first time I've ever ended up stranded on the side of the road on a road trip (and I've been doing this for 35 yrs.). Kudos to the folks at AAA. I upgraded my membership to cover motorcycles 6 months ago and they were great. They had a tow truck out there in 30 min. and the 25 mile tow didn't cost me a dime.
I'll post the results of the switch teardown when I replace it. It shouldn't go bad after just 4 years in a dry climate. I think I may have got a bad one.
