I've done that as well. Used the kill switch 'cos I stopped on a steepish hill and would have had to use ninja co-ordination to swap from front to back brake. Spent 10 minutes checking the effin' fuse box etc., when I tried to restart the bike and it wouldn't. Even more embarrasing when I'd just spent half an hour with an even older gimmer than me explaining how modern Triumphs were so much more reliable than the sort of things he used to ride. -- Rick Brown Sprint RS 955i

Well that component is physically located inside the right hand cover (what we used to call the points cover), as I'm sure you know. In my experience is usually plugs into the loom at the back of the engine somewhere, not really anywhere near the battery. But I don't know about the ZZR6 specifically, so I bow to your greater experience. -- Champ We declare that the splendour of the world has been enriched by a new beauty: the beauty of speed.

Actually I don't have any experience with the ZZR6 specifically, but my EX500/GPZ500 uses a very similar trigger coil assembly, and I wanted to point out it was possible to disconnect it, disabling the ignition system, without going anywhere near the ignitor or the ignition coils. The trigger coil connector does have a sort of retaining prong, so it would be hard to accidentally disconnect it, unless the prong has been broken by a pervious owner, which in my experience is not uncommon.
