On the Sprint this may not be such a good idea.  When shutting down  
with the kill switch, the computer doesn't complete its shutdown  
procedures.  Eventually, this may lead to some kind of problems.  It  
would be similar to shutting your car off by disconnecting the  
battery.  With full electronic fuel injection, shutdown procedures  
probably include some sort of order of shutting down injectors, fuel  
pump, resetting idle controller, etc.

I do know from playing with the little idle controller thingamajig  
that it does do something when shutting off the ignition, but it also  
resets when starting up.
