Have any of you four wheelers thought about using the tether type kill
switches like the bikes use (in addition to the external shut off)?

Doug & list,
It is my impression that the switch must shut down everything. Even with a
mag, a fuel motor can run on detonation, if the trans is in gear the wheels
can be turning - not a pretty site. I have this on TV so it must be true.
Jokes aside, Glenn can supply the answer - I would retitle this subject
ELECTRICAL cutoff not battery cutoff as the issue is the total electrical
system not just the battery.
