Number uno on my list is a kickstand no start switch. Useless, but annoying. Lights that tell you what gear you're in. Why do you care what gear you are in? You either are happy at the speed that you are going, or you want to go faster or slower, right? If you want to go faster, lift the shift lever up. If you want to go slower, push it down. If you're happy, leave it alone. Gas guages. Hey, it isn't like a car. You don't have to get out and put a stick in the tank to see how much gas is in it, The tank filler is right in front of you. Stop, and look in the tank. If you don't see any gas, rock the machine back and forth from side to side. If you don't see any gas, get some. It does have a reserve, Right? Nuetral light. It doesn't do any real harm, but you don't need to be playing with the shift lever with your eyes looking for the nuetral light to come on, you need to learn how to find nuetral by feel, looking at your surroundings, not focusing on a light bulb. While some snowflake on his/her cell phone plows into you. If the bike comes with a no-start interupter, and you go off road, disconnect it or wire around it. What an advantage electric start is, if you can re-start it off road when the engine flames out without having to find nuetral first. And the other pain in the butt, that can-start-it-from-the-house thingy where if you start it that way, you can't turn it off with the key. Sheese. What a winner....ARH
