What is the "proper" way to turn off your bike?

[R1-Limited]

OK so which way are you going to use?

Can we just agree "EVERYONE" that in this case we all swing both ways

 

[Stormdragon]

And in some cases, three or four ways!

No we can't

I want at least three more pages out of this topic...AND I want to know the OP's decision.

I know what the "proper" way is, but what is the "best" way??? Sorry about the thread jack. Let me know if I should start a new one.

Pretty sure the '89 Ninja 250 I'm racing doesn't have one of those. (Or a fuel pump, for that matter)

Carbs don't like working when the float bowls are completely sideways. A bit sideways is fine, a lot sideways is not.

LET THE POLL DECIDE

THE POLL IS UP!

For the record, I think I'll keep doing it the MSF way...kill switch then ignition.

i would vote, but I do not see don't matter

Do you really think their is a difference? Does the Motor even care, you would think if there was a engineered reason to shut a bike down by key or kill button that would be part of the entire Owners manual.

Do whatever it is that floats your boat, tickles your fancy, lifts your skirt or cocks your pistol. Personally I jump off at the right moment and watch the bike as it parks itself forced by my jedi mind powers

No for the real question

Do you know why men have to shake the dingy after taking a leak






































Because it cant go Snifffffffffffffff

I ride til I run out of gas - the bike shuts off on its own then.

I never use my kill switch. On the rare occasion that I accidentally turn it off, when I come back later and turn the bike on, I spend a couple seconds thinking my battery is dead.

It's even more fun on a bike that's kickstart only!

Have you ever owned a TL1000? Fuel in the oil was an issue on some early TL's because of this problem.

That would be flawed execution, not by design.
