OK, here is a weird question, but there is logic behind it . . . I am thinking solo to the Arctic Circle next summer (unless I can talk Snake or Snakebitten to go with me -hint-hint ;-) and am worried about the bike falling over and how to get it up, by myself, the bike, that is . . . . ;-) One of you at the rally talked about an "Air Bag Jack". . . Doing some research, they are not horribly expensive, weight about 7ish to 9 pounds, with a hose to use your exaust to fill the bag to get the bike up high enough to get it back on the stand. . . My brother asked me if there was a kill switch on the bike to turn the engine off, if it's on its side? Good question . . . My VStrom 650 evidently has one . . .
So a long intro for a short question, is there a tilt kill switch on the beast, and if so, can you bypass it? Or would you want to? Any other ideas out there? My biggest fear being single ship, is a tip over and I have a 62 year old back and am not built like Carson ;-) They have X-Jack Exaust that also has a pump you plug into the battery. . . but running your battery down is scary also . . .
Any thoughts . . .? Luke
