You are spot on in your assessment. From what I have read elsewhere, I think a lot of people are running without the brake cutoff switches. I ran my system for months without them and had no trouble with panic stops or throttle sticking. Because my bike has integrated shift and brake assemblies, I originally choose not to put them on. I do now have some micro switches installed because I have an electronic throttle hold that is really enhanced with the use of the brake cutoff. It also gives some extra confidence when I first switch on the system because I’m holding the brake and I know that it will not take off on me should something go wrong, and there is plenty to go wrong (like having the stock throttle connection misaligned causing a full throttle condition).
