Move a Motorcycle By Starting It and Putting It In Gear

By Walter F. Kern

Step 4: Set the KILL Switch to RUN

Make sure the KILL switch is in the RUN position. The engine won't start unless the KILL switch is properly set.

The KILL switch is usually near the right handlebar grip. You do have to be careful when riding that you don't accidentally trip the KILL switch and cause the engine to die. Always check the KILL switch first if you suddenly lose power.
