    Last week I noticed a problem with my kill switch. Seems kind of weird to me: if i try to start the bike with the kill switch 'on", it works properly and the bike will not start. However, If I hit the switch with the engine already running, nothing...the bike keeps running as usual. Anyone ever experienced this? Any thoughts? THANKS.

    Sounds like corroded contacts. I would try taking it apart, and squirting some electrial cleaner in there.

    I have the same problem with my 87 vfr700.
    If I fix it I'll let you know.
