Does everyone turn their engines off by pushing the kill button? I was reading a post about it can hurt the cdi. I don’t know if that is true just thought I would ask.

Hasn't happened to me yet and I have been riding these things for years now...lol.

My CDI is 13 years old with 5000 hours of use on it and has gone through several spark plugs.
However, I'd prefer the safety of a Kill Switch over the price of a CDI any day. If you're that concerned, carry a spare CDI in your road side repair tool kit with you on rides.

The BT80 wiring connections suck, and I've never been able to get my kill switch to work properly, so I just pull the plug wire.

Turf the switch and have two bare wires, touch them together to kill the engine.

I usually just stall mine with the clutch.
No way I'd ride any bike without a kill switch, if you have ever had the throttle stick wide open, that's what the kill switch is for.
