Hi guys, I was just wondering why when I push my killswitch in , it won't stay in? Thanks in advance. I've put in a url of a video that I took ,to show what I mean.

That's the best designed killswitch I've ever seen.

Not even joking.

Why aren't they all push-button?

It's so you don't accidentally engage it whilst the bike isn't running, go to start it, think its broken when it doesn't fire it up, and wind up pushing it home 9 miles that took you 4 hours and a few tears, like i did with my first geared bike.

Your killswitch looks broken to me.

You do get them designed that way on dirt bikes, but no diagram on the lever just a shallow push button.

Anyway better 'broken'

As said above, I think it's normal operation. Push in to Kill then it springs out to Alive again.

The thing that really chaffs is the faggotry from the two Gaymers in the clips that rolls in after your clip.

FTR I cannot say I have ever had any issue with a kill switch. I never use it and only function test for service.
