No, I didn't make the mistake of forgetting about the killswitch (this time :laugh:)

What happens with a XS400 DOHC '89 bike when the killswitch is engaged but you're trying to start it, either by pressing the ignition button or trying to push it?

Does your startermotor still turn your engine? Do you hear a click? Or a buzzing sound? If you push it on in 2nd gear, do your spark plugs still spark?

I'm trying to figure out if my killswitch is broken or not, my engine won't start
 
The lights come on, but no electric start or ignition. The only noise I hear is me cursing my friend for flipping the kill switch on my bike again...
