No worries about the safety switch guys. It is on the bike and works as it should. I've just not ever run across such a thing is all. Excluding my 3-wheeler, the last motorcycle I've owned was 12 years ago and it was a 1981 model which did not have such a kill switch. I used to put that bike up on a floor jack and use a 4x4 under the kick stand to do any work involving the rear hub. While I had it in the air, I would run the bike in first gear and rev it a bit to make sure the chain sounded correct before letting it back down and carrying on with my day. I won't be doing that with the 250, no big thing.
