Ya think? Wow, thanks.

So, in other words, it won't hurt a thing to use the kill switch every time you shut the bike off.

Because I lose and drop things, we always carry both key fobs. I keep one in my pocket, and my wife carries the second one pinned inside her jacket. The non-start issue has happened when I am the only one on the bike, and when we both are on the bike.
