My dirt bike has a push putton kill switch. Press it in and hold it and 
the motor stops. As soon as you take your finger off the button though 
the bike can be restarted. I'm guessing that's what he means. I've 
never seen a street bike with a switch like that. I'm not even sure the 
button is stock on my KLX since I bought it used and it has a lot of 
aftermarket goodies on it.
