if I get run over or off, a sippy cup of a motor racing on it's side is gonna be the least of my worries, pull the clutch, lift, kill motor-wipe dirt from wounds. that's what a chain guard is for-very functional-ever get your fingers caught in a track bike chain?

so, do you mount the kill switch on the left so you can throttle right before you press the button for normal shut off? Actually, I'll probably be putting on a switch-like a firing switch STDP to interupt the blue wire. but unless you're installing some sort of passive (seadoo, snow machine) switch-it shouldn't be considered an emergency kill switch.
