How You Start & SHut Off Your Motorcycle

Key to "OFF" position

I may be foolish to state this but has anyone checked the owner's manual on page 6-1 on starting the engine? It says turn the key to "ON" & put the engine stop switch to the "RUN" position, the indicator lights come on & then you push the start switch. I've always started all my bikes this way & never had issues. Could be a coincidence.

I like this point, as I use the kill switch 100% of the time. I'll often turn my bike off at long stoplights. Use the kill switch. Never a problem.
