    Default Starting Engine while moving

    Driving a main urban road and inadvertently on/off switch while moving at approx. 45 mph. I was unable to restart until could coast to the side of the road and stop....dangerous. Is there a way to restart when moving?

    If you killed the engine by hitting the cut off switch you should be able to restart it by hitting that switch again. I haven’t tried doing that in a long time but that’s how I remember it working.

    Default Interesting....🤔

    I have no problem and have done it many times to clear codes/ warnings . Now mine is a manual and can pull in the clutch crank it or pop the clutch and it fires right up. Not sure how the semi automatic works...

    FYI mine has stalled few times(fuel filter & plugs ) & has cranked back up while moving at slower speeds most l approaching a stop or yield all <50mph wasnt looking at the speed as Ithey happened , just rushed to try & get back running again or see what I had to do next. Thankfully no incidents just aggravation. Plugs, wires& filter changed now code P1175 : bank 2 too rich. Tech says it's within spec & is confused/investigating funny thing few times when I did crank while moving the push mode screen would pop up& im at like 30mph could only see by the analog needle though. Again quick motions to get back to normal

    As Ann said, just turn the kill switch back on and it will restart. If you are going too fast the restart may not be instantaneous but as you lose speed it will restart on its own. At least mine has.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    I was cruising along once and the bike wasn’t responding to the throttle. Then I realized I had bumped the kill switch. Flipped back and it was running normal again.
