Morm , the kill switch is to shut the bike down any time, the key is to shut the bike off . It's best to use the switch every time ,If you use the key to shut off the motor the bike will have to be in neutral,Unless you've used the kickstand to shut the motor off(which wont stop power to the CDI) I feel it's safer to park my bike in gear ,and you have to reach down an blindly remove the key, what if you turn it to park instead ,pull the key, and walk away?(dead battery?)What if your distracted by a riding buddy, forget to turn it off, and walk away? (fried CDI ?)I get off the bike and remove the key as I'm looking at it, this insures that I remove it in the off position ,using the kill switch insures no damage to the CDI, and the bike in gear lessens the chance that it might roll ,the kickstand fold ,and the bike fall, if bumped or on an uneven surface . In an emergency turning off the kill switch will be an "automatic "reflex, and you'll know it's going to work.
