In the unfortunate event of a accident or if your bike topples over it will kill itself as it has a bank angle kill switch.I had a 1500 Goldwing that would shut down and then come back on at speed which was very unnerving.Drove me nuts till it was found at the kill switch as the contacts were filthy.So I turn mine on and off to exercise the switch as well as the sidestand kill.But 90% of the time just use the key.
