Why all this complication and debate? It's a very simple procedure: When parking, stop the engine, and then remove the key from the main switch. Does anyone ever read their owners manual?
I've never used the kill switch to shut off the bike

Kill switch?
Key?
I just put her in first and stall it.
WTF?!?! Cannot believe this is a thread. lol
How do y’all wipe your ass?
Left or right handed?
Do you wipe back to front or front to back?
Do you lay a landing pad of tp on the water to prevent splash back?
I think I may have been wiping my ass wrong all these years and want to hear how everyone else does it.

"Keep it simple"
No landing pad
Right handed
And I can do both front to back, and back to front
AND 2 layers af paper = 2 "tickets" folded
, and as many times as required
What do you think, is the above true, or am I just writing random ??
(don't need any answer)

Yes you're doing it wrong if wiping with paper. Spray hose or bidet and a little soap keeps the bung hole clean and fresh. Lol

Just chug down a bottle of Fleet and you can piss out of your butt hole.

Use a dirt clod when I’m in the woods followed by my underware if it’s a softy.
I just don’t know, I will have to ask my personal assistant that has been performing this task for me all these years!
I wish sometimes that I was not such a visual person....

Left on a ride about 9 am, guess I didn’t miss much on the Tenere board today.
As an MSF RiderCoach, we stress 'Thumb-Key-Valve' to new students taking the Basic RiderCourse. Obviously the fuel valve isn't an issue for most bikes now, but it's still taught that way, including engine cutoff switch then ignition.

Agree, use the cut off switch, that's what its for, starting and stopping the engine.
Older riders, swear by the key, because when they learned to ride there were no cut off switches only the key.
I'm 70, I know.
Cut off switch, side stand down and then turn off the remaining items, extra lights, heated whatevers, key. Attention new riders, get your side stand down at the first opportunity, cause y'all gonna drop your bike one day, cause you forgot to set the side stand. Experience talking here.

My problem when i first started riding, i would use the key all the time so when I needed to stop on a slope, I would try to put the bike in neutral, use my left had to turn off with the key, then put the bike back in gear, all the while clutching the brake with my right hand. After about the 2nd or 3rd time, I finally used the cutoff switch. What an idiot!

My '86 FJ doesn't have a fuel shut off. The '77 XS 360 I had didn't either. I haven't seen a Basic course that doesn't supply the bikes for the course. I'm just not understanding why the curriculum hasn't changed up there. They're not teaching it down here.
I've never understood the point of the kill switch.
The times that I went down hard, by the time I got back on my feet, the bike wasn't running. And, during those times, it happened so fast that I didn't think about the switch. It doesn't matter how you turn the bike off. . . . ya' still have to remember to turn the key to off, or remove it. . . . or it won't matter.

I agree, and that's my not very well stated point. Why is it there? Cars don't have them.
