Kill switch backfires - what damage will it cause?
 

....... if when riding along and you flick the kill switch so the bike gives out an almighty backfire?

the reason i ask is one of my work colleagues admits to doing this and thinks its great fun!!!

didn't want to say anything but did ask him if it could cause damage and he wasn't sure?

any ideas oh mighty org?

Good, innit. Some people need to grow up ( gracefully )
