its 'Engine Kill' Switch!

A kill switch, also known as an emergency stop or e-stop, is a safety mechanism used to shut off a device in an emergency situation in which it cannot be shut down in the usual manner. Unlike a normal shut-down switch/procedure, which shuts down all systems in an orderly fashion and turns the machine off without damaging it, a kill switch is designed and configured to a) completely and as quickly as possible abort the operation, even if this damages equipment and b) be operable in a manner that is quick, simple (so that even a panicking operator with impaired executive function can activate it), and, usually, c) be obvious even to an untrained operator or a bystander. Many kill switches feature a removable barrier or other protection against accidental activation (e.g., a plastic cover that must be lifted or glass that must be broken).
Kill switches are featured especially often as part of mechanisms whose normal operation or foreseeable misuse may cause injury or death; designers who include such switches consider damage to or destruction of the mechanism to be an acceptable cost of preventing that injury or death.

I haven't specifically inquired about this but a fellow biker did it just after his purchase. You can check the same in the ownership thread - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...ml#post1138763.

It's the engine on & off switch, or in other words 'killswitch'. Very convenient at times.

Hello Friends,

How are your FZ FI's doing?

I am seeing lot of new FZ FI's and FZ16 ( Commander Versions) on Hyderabad roads every day compared to the Gixxers! Is it the case in rest of the cities?

share your thoughts!

Cheers,

Re: Yamaha FZ-s Fi Ridden and Reviewed

Have you guys installed tank protector or covers on your FZ FI?

Need some advice, tank is scratch magnet, please post pics if you have any.

Re: Yamaha FZ-s Fi Ridden and Reviewed

sad that this thread is no more active!

Re: Yamaha FZ-s Fi Ridden and Reviewed

That's because the discussion happens on the ownership thread. This thread is only for the review.

Re: Yamaha FZ-s Fi Ridden and Reviewed

lol, somehow i missed that point. thanks i am going there

Re: Yamaha FZ-s Fi Ridden and Reviewed

hi guys . iam a 6.1 ft guy and weigh 98 kg . iam looking a bike to commute within the city traffic and streets. iam really interested to go for a regualr fz-s. please give me yor suggestions.also would that suit if me and my newly married wife go on it .

Re: Yamaha FZ-s Fi Ridden and Reviewed

It would be better if you start a new what bike thread to get proper response. Fz is a good bike but it might not suit your height.also if your wife sits one sided then fz might be problem. The hornet has a good pillion Seat.also gixxer is a good bike but for the pillion Seat.
