• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone else despise the Kill Switch/Cruise Control location?

Anyone despise the location or maybe it's the orientation of the kill switch in relation to the cruise control switch? Twice now I've inadvertently hit the kill switch while setting the cruise while travelling at a good clip. Yesterday was at 115 km/h while passing a car, kinda gives you a pucker moment, least ways it starts right up once you realize what you did and turn it back on.

Twice I killed the motor during driving :ROFLMAO:
 
I just looked at a picture of your controls, the cruise is above the starter button while the Kill is above the cruise. You have to hit the top of the kill switch to kill the engine. You must be wearing very thick gloves if you are hitting the top of the kill switch when going for the cruise control.

I did the same thing with my Canyon (once). In my defense, I was experimenting with cruse on a new model when I had never had cruse on a motorcycle before. I think repositioning my hand to get my thumb on the button is what hit the kill switch.
 
The only "problem" I have with the CC is that I think it's on the wrong side. Every motorcycle I've ridden with CC, it's on the left side. I love the one on my BMW.
