When is that used? I'm supposed to think to press that during an
accident? Before I fall off? How dumb is that?
My old snowmobile had a tether that you clipped to your belt so if you
fell off it killed the machine. On a motorcycle it's rather pointless.
Must have been a day at OSHA when they forgot to pound their puds.

You've never had an issue where you needed the killswitch? You're either
lucky or new to riding. My guess is new and forgot to turn it on,
resulting in having the dealer come out to pick the bike up and having
them make you look foolish.

I never dumped a bike, period.

You assume dumping a bike is the only reason to need a killswitch?
You're new...

So after you accidentally turned off the killswitch, what
happened next ?
