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.

No you do not need to. However, if you make a habit of turning it off in this sequence: kill switch, brake, ignition off, you will develop a habit that can serve you well if you ever need to turn off the engine in a time constrained emergency.

Let's see..!!
the kill switch is optional. It is a good idea to use the kill switch so it becomes second nature to you so in the event of an emergency you will react quickly and shut her down. Also add to security if the roadster is messed with. So it is still your choice....:thumbup:

There's another decent reason to include the "Kill" switch as part of your routine...
"Morons", sometimes like to walk by a bike, and give it a slap. :gaah:
They'll never catch you "napping", if you're already checking it as part of the start-up ritual! :thumbup:

The kill switch importance is something thats covered in the "Basic Sidecar/Trike (S/TEP)" course. Some states require that you have an endorsement for trikes and sidecar equipped motorcycles to ride a Spyder like here in Washington, and the easiest and best way to get the endorsement is to take that course. Some states don't require anything more than a regular drivers license I've heard. But the course is good for everyone. Even seasoned riders pick up useful information and skills that can them stay alive. I would definitely recommend you find out if the course is available in your area and take it. Its takes 2 days and its actually a lot of fun. I was originally considering getting a sidecar for my Harley Sportster and thats why I took the course, but they had Spyder's available to ride for training and I was instantly hooked. Now I have my own ST and I love it!

The use of the kill switch has been highly recommended by many of the "experts" on the forum.
