Thanks for the prompt reply, that's a cool option I'll keep it in mind!

I've been thinking about replacing it with three toggle switches on the right side where the fan ducts are below the seat.

Gonna have the three like a combination to start? One up two down or just all up and ready to roll?

I was thinkin a bar mount switch, or maybe even some kind of deal like the new Harley's have where they are active once you get close with your key fob.

Could some kind of proximity sensor work to turn the entire bike on as you got close? Then all you would have to do is flip the red kill switch and hit the starter?

If you're going to do the binary combo switch thing, I suggest more than three.
With three, there are only 8 combos. (like notes on a trumpet)
