I don't know the answer for sure as I've never tried it, but I would imagine that the bike would just roll to a stop under engine braking? I assume the vacuum remains the same/similar on an engine when off or on?

Also I think you only get a good bang on a carbed bike no?

Can't say I've noticed one (and I would hope I would at the dead of night) but then I only use it when I've slowed down to 10mph or so, not experienced using it when going any faster...

Its fun . Go around 60mph let off throttle and hold kill switch off for 3 secs then back on . Boom .
Or rev it to around 9K and do kill switch on and off really fast
