You will start checking it first when you learn to shut off the Spyder using the kill switch. If you do that, it becomes second nature for shutting down the engine in case of a serious problem, and it becomes the first thing you do after you turn the key on.

This kind of goes back to the basics....
F.I.N.E - C
Fuel
Ignition
Neutral
Engine cut off
Clutch
Honestly, those of you that don't use the cut off switch for shut down, should really work on using it. It's a good habit to get into knowing that switch without thinking of it...

Even those who don't admit have had it happen. The thing is how long it takes you to figure it out..!!! Rest assured it will happen again but you will figure it out right away..!!

I haven't done that since I use the kill switch to shut the bike off... BUT... the first time starting it after this winter, I went through my mental checklist. Waited for the computer to boot-up and hit start and nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Same feeling... what the heck is going on? Battery under-charged? What is it?
I sat there and stared at the screen trying to figure out what is wrong... until it dawned on me to hit the mode-button.

After spending the last 30 years riding snowmobile, I use the kill switch all the time.
That mode button will drive me insane though..........
Just sayin'............
Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally
Just sayin'............

Yup, guilty. Also, on the first ryde away from home, I forgot to step on the brake, and had to call a neighbor for starting instructions! And YUP, it was with my HD buddy... in fact HE made the call!
But now at 2,7xx miles I've gotten into the habit of immediately setting the kill-switch back 'on' as soon as the engine dies. I use the kill-switch to keep the display turned on, so I can review a couple screens first... stuff that I shouldn't be doing when my eyes belong on the road.

And for the shut down it's Thumb Key Valve. Spyders skip that valve step of course so, I guess we could make it Thumb, Brake, Key.
