NO??? That's pretty freaky if your running a highly computerized
M/C Scooter like a Yamy Majesty 400, I used to do it your way on the Honda
CH250, but today's bikes have too much computerized things to go wrong if
the Main Fuse doesn't catch it....
The Main Fuse catches any anomaly in power surge, but there's
always that 1-->1,000+ times.....again computerized side stands and storage
box lights may be at risk of a surge....
