The kill switch is designed to shut the motor off. flip it back to the ON or RUN position and start the bike again.

SOURCE: I have a Buell 2008 lightning xb12ss, its just started

Some early 2008 models have issues with the Idle Air Control motor that can cause those symptoms. This would be covered for replacement under warranty.

These symptoms could also be an intake leak.

Need help putting seat back on, finding fuel switch & kill switch

The only kill switches on the xb9s is the kickstand switch, the right hand thumb switch and the key switch. As for your seat, make sure your tool kit is out of the way(if you still have it) and that the battery is the correct size and is sitting in it's cradle completely. The front of the seat is pushed down dirst and slid forward and the back is popped down onto the two legs.

How to put on the seat of a 2003 buell lightning XB9S motorcycle

Make sure the TOOL KIT IS NOT IN THE WAY (if you still have it) and that the battery IS THE CORRECT SIZE. Again, put the front down FIRST, and push toward the front of the bike then put the rear down and pop it onto the legs.

Change the coil. It is breaking down internally. The clicking is probably a flat battery

If it doesn't fire right up do not keep trying you will burn up the starter Change something
1.Fuel on
2 kill switch to run
3 side stand up
4 petcock in prime position if it has one
5 Spark?
6 choke on?
7 check the spark plug to see if it smells like gas or is wet with fuel
20 seconds at a time on the starter or it will burn out

07 buell lightning xb9... stored for a while and now when attempting to start a loud clicking noise... tried to jump started but same clicking noise... new battery???

I have a Buell M2 and a Buell Rirebolt.
When the batteries go, they leave us with clicking solenoids. There is enough power for ignition but not enough for the starter motor, hence the clicking noises.
That is possibly what you are experiencing.
Hope that helps.
