I use the kill switch always, although recently I was reading a motorcycle manual where they explicitly stated that the kill switch should be used only for emergencies. They say that if you use it all the time, you are taking the risk of leaving the keys on the bike, and worse letting the battery drain. This has never happened to me, but I guess it is a good point. The kill switch never gets me, it is the first thing I check, but the petcock gets every single time.
