You can always tell an XS650 owner........

After 10 kicks and breaking into a sweat, fiddling with the plug caps and checking the fuel is on, with a crowd watching he realizes the kill switch isn't off..........

I've never done that. No Sir, not me. I'm MUCH too smart to fall for that one!

When I was 19 I bought a Yamaha XT500 new. I wasn’t much of a mechanic and one day my new bike simply wouldn't start. I loaded it in the back of my truck and dropped it off at the dealer. When I picked it up, I asked what was wrong with it. Without smiling, the shop manager said “ The kill switch was on.”

Doh! I never used the kill switch and I must’ve bumped it and never noticed it was out of position. Boy did I feel sheepish!

After the tales of woe that were told about what can happen if you leave a PAMCO powered up while the bike is not running, I always shut down with the kill switch now and then I remove the key.

It also serves as a little detector of someone who has been messing with my bike. The first thing most strangers will do is fool around with the switches.

Idiots. I’d never touch someone’s bike.
