Master Ignition Switch ?

[drjay9051]

I am now the proud owner of a 2024 rocket 3R.I've yet to ride the bike due to weather.I trailered it home from the dealership.All I can do is look at my new Rocket and wait for the rain to end.I do have one question, on the left hand side there is a "master ignition switch" We control ignition from the instrument cluster, Anybody have a clue as to why we've got a secondary switch to turn off the bike?
Oh yes, one more question.
Is the quick shifter kit worthwhile? I have always uplifted on my ducatis sans clutch without issue.
Of course downshifting was another story.

Is it money well spent?
Any regrets,
I appreciate the replies. I can't wait for the weather to clear.

USA law requires a secondary switch, because in case of emergency, first responders know where to turn off every motorcycle make and model right away

The quick shifter kit is a fantastic upgrade that you'll appreciate every time you use it.

I'm not sure it's a US law. I've never been able to find it; but also, none of my other motorcycles have had one (keyless or not). A friend of mine is a fire chief, and he had never heard of anything like that and just said that's what the kill switch is for.

2nd the QS recommendation. Do it. And the Penner tune.

P.S. welcome to the club!

I'll definitely get the quick shift.However as far as a penner tune or any type of remapping I will not be doing that at this point as I understand it will void my warranty In terms
Of an engine issue.

I will be getting the werks Slip on as that does not avoid the warranty.The only other thing at this point is I will be Sarah.Coating the headers and the heat shields black

That's a screenshot of an internet search of people repeating something that they heard. Also, both of those refer to the kill switch, which is found on the handlebar and is mandated in some markets (including in the U.S. per 49 CFR 571.123). Neither of them refers to a secondary ignition switch like Triumphs add for the US/Canada market, but appears to not be mandated at the U.S. federal level.

If it's a U.S. law or regulation, it will be found in the laws or regulations themselves, all of which are publicly accessible. "Someone else said it so it must be true" is not valid reasoning. If it's a U.S. law or regulation that Triumph motorcycles must have a second ignition kill switch beyond just the one on the handlebar, then post a link to that. I'd also like to know why other makes aren't "required" to have it.

Don’t think there is a Penner tune for the 2024 model is there ?

Leave it in the on position. All is does is disable the key fob from connecting.
