Re: [St] Throttle cables

[Mark Needham <gbdiver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry guys but this hurts me. Being an MSF instructor, there is NO kill 
switch. It is an engine cut off switch.....

The drill I tell my students is

Thumb, turn the engine cut off to the off position.
Key, Turn the ignition off
Valve, turn the fuel supply valve to off.
SQUEEZE the front brake (NEVER GRAB)
Dismount to the left.
Turn bars to the left.
Release the brake.
Remove the key.
