  Turning off your motorcycle

  Do you put the bike in neutral first?  I do automatically every time. Do you use the kill (on/off) switch and then turn off the ignition on the dash?...  moreDo you put the bike in neutral first?  I do automatically every time. Do you use the kill (on/off) switch and then turn off the ignition on the dash? I don't.                          OR Do you NOT use the kill switch but simply turn off the ignition on the dash? I do.  Using the kill switch and the ignition switch to turn off the bike is kind of a jinx thing for me.  I believe it is unnecessary wear on the kill switch, decreasing the life expectancy.  And since I have to turn off the ignition on the dash anyway there's no need to mess with the kill switch.  And, the ignition switch is a helluva lot easier to fix/replace than the kill switch. On my shovel head?  Same scenario except that like Aquadave, I shut off the gas.  less
