[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 53676, member: 433"] hello Glen, I have wired an extra switch in with a control light as my Comet also keeps idling nicely with the Alton producing enough juice for the electronic ignition. the control light is to remember me that the ignition is on before I exhaust myself kicking the bike madly and flooding it because the b****y ignition off (don't ask me for more details please) in my toolbox I have a relais that cuts the battery via an key switch. Problem was I stopped the engine with the on/off switch when somebody tapped my shoulder and asked me about this wonderful machine. I started talking like a priest about the merits of the design, hinge in the middle, Girdraulics, 4 drum brakes, fasted road machine for umpteen years.... you get the picture. then I pushed the bike into the garage, looked proudly and satisfied at this beauty, turned the fuel tap off and left.... forgetting about the keyswitch. if forgetting this once should have killed my Alton I hope my better half won't ask me something stupid ( darling what about "us" mowing the lawn) tomorrow Bernd [/QUOTE]
