[QUOTE="RichDoyle, post: 1207381, member: 84694"] Uh, the reason the kill switch functions in a typical points system is that power to the points is cut off in this type of bike. In magneto ignitions, it [I]shorts[/I] this circuit. Many newer models of cars (e.g. first Honda Civic Hybrid) shut the engine off whenever you stop. Others (such as my Prius) start and stop the engine without any direct input from the driver. There is no apparent harm to the engines from this practice. [/QUOTE]
