"Kill Switch"......priceless goof

[Stig / Major Tom]

The kill switch on the Like 150i sticks out like a sore thumb.  It's easy to accidentally turn it off.  I speak from experience.

....that is so you can find it in the dark, with two broken legs as you crawl back to it from the roadside shrubbery where you've just deposited yourself after a lovely high-side thanks to a suicidal squirrel......

I guess.
Though seems the tip-over gizmo would have shut down the engine anyway....

Got me thinking about my  DTX360 and I realised the kill switch is in a different place from usual owing to the up and down mode buttons taking up the kill switch space! Now a slider below so I’ll need to keep an eye out for it accidentally being pushed across. 🤣

Looking at that drawing in your manual - it looks like your brake levers are adjustable for 'reach' ? (that small disc ?)
Always found that a nice accessory.

Yep.  The X-Town levers were span adjustable too.

Yes it will turn off the engine while riding.  Way back in the day I remember a "friend" pulling beside me and killing my engine.  The reason for the kill switch is that it is required by law.  If you were to get a throttle stuck wind open you could kill the engine.  I think this happened occasionally in the "old days".  I have never had it happen.

Good to know. I have never tried it but always wanted to do it in an open parking lot.
