Kill switches, what a laugh. Since I put the flash twin plug ignition set up on the Beemer mine doesn't work. The manual explains that to kill the engine now you must use the kill switch and then sound the horn.
How mad is that ?
Strikes me as typically Germanic . Very thorough and safety conscious as always . By sounding the horn ,it informs everyone in the locality that you are turning off the engine .First class .
On a different note , a totally useless thing on my XS is the small plastic box behind the engine and metal bracket in front of it . This box is where the detachable kickstart lever lives and the bracket is to what the end of the kickstart secures to...........however the model I have was never fitted with a kickstart shaft ,which is blanked off with a bung .Therefore no need for this to even be there and as its open ended ,this box is good for ,well nothing really. Ho hum .
