I'm assuming you have no incadesent (BULB) license and running lights and as such the speedo will glow or flicker unless i have some special '04' model!
In my case the battery drained over night and wasn't completely dead so we pushed started it.
I suggest you and cmzracing run a 24 hr test for us and see what happens [

+1 for me too. When I need to leave the bike in gear (if on a hill/slope) I just turn the key to shut it off and hardly ever use the kill switch.....no problems yet....
Hi Alan - I just went into my garage and tried a couple of different scenarios:
1. Bike is in gear, shut off using key not kill switch.
2. Bike is in gear, shut off using kill switch.
My bike is in my garage and with the blinds pulled down it is quite dark. Dark enough to see any illumniation regardless of how low it is.
Results: No buzzing sound, no faint blue flickers on the instrument panel or tach. Of course, it's not been 24 hours, but I was surprised to not see the symptoms so many have talked about. I have seen it first hand on my friends warrior as well.
I have the Radiantz wrap around, an LED strip as a running light, and the integrated LED tail light that came with the eurofender.
I can't explain it. Maybe it will show up after some time but I've been running this setup for a while now...
