Turn it off
 

No right or wrong answers here..
Just curious as to what others do...

So How do turn your bike off???

(I use the key)

Key only . I used to use the Killswitch and the key , but for some reason my bike instructor on my DAS told me off for using kill switch and gave me a valid reason for it (which I have forgotten since) and have used key only since then .

key from now on....

Aparently the kill switch on the Aprilia RST is a week point, So I was told.

on the SV I used the kill switch and Key. only because of the alarm would set after 30 seconds and I was still mucking about with other things, ie getting helmet & gloves off.

I have a mate who is so emphatic about using the killswitch, everytime we go on a rideout, I know before the day is over he will sneak over to my (parked) bike and turn the killswitch off . :rolleyes:

Mine did exactly the same but didn't give a reason and I had far too much already going on in my tiny brain, I didn't have enough remaining capacity to ask him why.

I use the key but as a gross act of defiance towards my instructor, I might start using the kill-switch. That'll learn 'im.

If you use the kill switch you may leave the key in the ignition and walk away.

I switch off with the key, and take it out at the same time - Pavlov's dog.

Personal choice i guess

Key.

But i'll use the killswitch with it still in gear if I'm parking it on a slope or dodgy ground.

Thankfully I have never stopped it by riding into another vehicle although THEY have used ME to slow down/stop on numerous occassions!

Last time was waiting for a ferry, when some Dutch dude rammed us. Kept it upright and was undamaged.

My topbox and rack scored and dented the bonnet (hood;)) on his new Vectra (small compact saloon;) ). Result.

Servo brakes and idiots don't mix!

always with the key

Re: Turn it off
 

Key, the killswitch is there for an emergency, hence kill-switch, where as the ignition has an "on" and an "off"

also, it reminds me to grab my key :D

btw, LOL at crashing it into a tree or nearby building :D

works if you crash into a car too
