My idea was to not run more wires than necessary.

I fully understand all the other ways of getting this done.

I have used the switch several times today and have learned the following:

If I just press it long enough to stall out the engine then let go it doesn't throw a CEL.

The only way I was able to get a CEL again was to keep the button pressed then let the clutch out in gear for engine braking. There's no need to ever do that because if you need engine braking you might as well just ride out DFCO.

I am going to leave my mod the way it is unless I have issues, which so far so good.

Again, I will get a pic of where I did the wiring. It's all right behind the glove box.

I call the connector the Brown Bus Bar because if you pull it off the harness *taped to it* you'll see what I mean when you look inside it.
