LOL... naw it's a part of the bike...
and dirt bikes dont have keys, some have kill switchs attached to bungee cords but thats after market *****, buts thats all i know of on mx bikes
One more guess.
Kick stand kill switch.:skep:

Ok, its tomorrow now. Tell us what it is.:tt:
Street bike, anti lock brakes will save most lives:dthumb:
Well if Harley's and Bimers don't have it and most liter bikes do....I'm going with a monster dose of
FU:cens:CKing power.


Suck on that HD. :moped:
OK you got me. Now I want to know what it is. :tt:

Do all dirt bikes? I don't know I was just guessing. Really old bikes don't I know, but that's a stretch.

Horn, chain, fuel supply valve?

Tires would seem like a good choice if you didn't give that hint but all bikes have tires.
I guessed that last night fool! LOL and you said I was wrong.

:iagree:
no... and I couldn't find it in any part of the reading... :scratch:
A chain coming apart at speed would be kinda of hazardous, but probably no more hazardous if a tire came apart, shifter broke, or if the breaks failed.

but that wouldn't make it a safty FEATURE just a hazzard... :2cents:
maybe because it has something to do with power, who knows, that is odd. Seems like a mistake in the test to me.
hmmm what if the engine locked up, with a chain in place it kinda acts like a breaker fuse, distrupting the engine revs from the rest of the drive train, ie rear sproket and tire????

Trust me. It does little to no good.
I was going down the front straight at Roblin Road Raceway and a Honda seized up in front of me. :yikes: It wasn't pretty. Instant rear wheel lock at about 140+.:crazy:
I'm with ya... cell phones are huge. I would also like to believe ABS would be a big one as well...
