Kill switch necessary?

[wheelbender6]

If you have never had a stuck throttle cable, you probably will.
I was picking up my new scoot from my dealer. During, the presale check, we noticed that the kill switch worked intermittently. Sometimes it would kill the motor; sometimes not. The dealer (I won't name it - they have been good otherwise) said I could go ahead and take that scoot home and get the kill switch replaced at the 300 mile checkup.
I didn't take the scoot. I waited until he replaced the kill switch, which took a while, because they had to replace the entire right handlebar switch cluster. I would have been OK if he had just bolted on some aftermarket kill switch.
The bottom line was that I would not accept a scooter without a good kill switch. It can save your life.
