    Well gosh darnit, I never thought of it either (and yes I even went out to the shed to check the VL). Amazing how a simple offhand comment can bring such a revelation to many.

    Also worth noting that the killswitch lets you kill the engine but leave the lights on. Handy for pulling into my garage at night without waking people up

    same here: my bike is very loud, and the key is down on the side almost under my leg, so when coming home late, the easiest thing is to kill the engine with the switch while coasting in neutral, so as to not annoy everyone TOO much
