Not really. Unless you can unscrew the plug real fast while your riding.

I've never actually done one, but could you screw out the throttle stop so slide hits the bottom & grab the clutch & coast to a stop & motor would be long stopped. Or are you meant to kill the spark but hold it on full song [which would wet the plug till it stopped revolving. CT3 just tie a string around the plug lead & around your leg & kick out at speed to kill the spark. Sorry i'm having vision of that, so maybe not a good plan.

You should really have a kill switch. How do you cut off the bike now?

If you have an ignition and key why do you need a kill switch?

I agree with RT325, set up a dead man throttle:  "could you screw out the throttle stop so slide hits the bottom & grab the clutch & coast to a stop & motor would be long stopped."

Haha, put it in gear and dump the clutch with the back brake on!  Obviously no help when doing a plug chop.

My first Bultaco was like that, a dirt bike with no main switch or kill switch.  I added a kill switch pretty quickly!
