So what happens if you cut the killswitch while pulling the throttle and keep pulling after cutting it?

Hi, can I feature it? Credited of course!

Interesting video, on my little Mutt 125 which is carb'd the kill switch purely kills the electrics, I only caught this myself recently as I had to fix a starting issue

I was wondering this aswell, so thank you for the experiment in advance. But I was wondering if you don't use the clutch, so for example driving in 3rd gear and use the kill switch. Can you come to a (safe) stop without using the clutch. I had to think about this because I had a stroke wich paralyzed my left side for some time (luckely I wasn't om my bike when it happend). But I was wondering what I should do if it did.

I was hoping someone else tried this so my impulsive thoughts didn't have to

I hear it can short out so always use the key

I've never owned an ultra modern bike that can cut fuel instantly but with all mine it shorts out the ignition circuit to ground therefore you lose your spark. If you'd done it then pulled the clutch you'd hear a vast difference in engine noise - it would be silent as an EV... with the clutch out your pistons are working and you're essentially doing the same as bump starting it, only there no spark to ignite to achieve combustion.

Try unkilling when you are still rolling at a decent speed, with the clutch engaged.

In the old days when everything was carbureted, when you had a dog that habitually chased motorcycles, we would hit the kill switch as the dog ran out, still in 2nd or 3rd gear, and then turned it back on. The raw gas that was pumped into the exhaust would explode when the kill switch was turned back on and the bike bump started. That big boom would scare the dog and it would quickly learn to NOT chase motorcycles.

it turns off

What's up? Good to feature this video for an edit that I've been working on? I'll credit you with watermark on screen. Thanks in advance.

More 125 content please 🙏 👍

[@BlokeOnAMotorbike]

you go from 60mph to unpowered engine braking. I've done it. EFI engines lose fuel and spark.

[@metehanyilmaz9716]

I just accidently did it and it made a pop sound when i started the engine back on haha 😂

[@carlostomas3698]

Interesting experience 👏🏻 but it would be better to find information about it before doing so😅. Without knowing, i would say that using the kill switch (or emergency kill switch) inadvertently even with bike running nothing bad happen should occur or else the engineers would be some crazy bastards 😂
