[QUOTE="CA G-Man, post: 1204199, member: 36805"] Several good points made here already. For my part, I’ll only kill the engine if I’m sure there’s no safety risk (i.e. all vehicles around me, including at least one or two behind are “good & stopped”). As long as that’s the case and if there’s a reason to shut ‘er down for heat comfort, communication, etc. then I’ll do it. For short periods I’ll use the kill switch and leave the ignition on. For longer periods I’ll turn off the ignition to save the battery. I used to use the kill switch less, but after using it quite frequently in the Experienced Rider Course I came to realize that it’s really not a big deal as long as your battery's in good shape.
