An old trick to pull on someone was to walk by their bike and flip the kill switch then watch them go ballistic trying to figure out why it wouldn't start.

just out of curiosity, why would you want to turn off and turn on 2 different switches to stop or start your bike?

I just like buttons Big Grin
I may or may not have spent a minute or two a couple of times trying to figure out what's wrong with my bike.
One problem with using the kill switch is that you can easily leave the lights on and walk away, draining the battery. Ask me how I know.

That is likely true for some riders. Individual "mileage may vary" for sure.

I guess my brain is such wired that I have never left the ignition on and just walked away.
