The rear brake on my Triton - it didnt.

My great plans - totally bloody useless.

Or is that me?

What a pleasing set of responses!!

My YBR does not have a kill switch, and I wish it did. Having used one in an emergency I dont conssider them a useless bit of kit.

 my friends cbr600rr has a toolkit. people like us find this reassuring and like the fact it has a tool kit.
 the tool kit is located in a little plastic compartment under the left mid-fairing;
 the fairing that needs allen keys to remove.

 luckily there are some allen keys in the tool kit to allow the removal of the fairing.

 my brain hurts.

the most useless thing on my c90 is the bit of the speedo that reads from 40 to 60mph. and the front brake. and the fuel tank that holds 2/3 of a gallon. and the swing arm made of bacofoil.

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 ?

!?! Maybe their plan is that it wont stop the engine but it will warn those around that there is a scared person on an out of control motorcycle nearby...?  ;) :D

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 .

However you could put a kickstart in there - which would be even more useless, second thoughts you could use it for cracking nuts.

The Triton head gasket was pretty useless too.....
