Title: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH" Post by strangeling on 12/04/07 at 15:21:36 Hi, Does anyone know how to disable or bypass the side stand switch as mine seems to be messing up every now and then so I can't put the bike into gear without it cutting out even when the stand is in the up position. Thanx, Glenn |

If you do not have a schematic: Remove the switch from the sidestand Follow the wire(s) into the LH triangle cover Disconnect the connector(s) Connect the 2 wires of the bike's harness Now the electrics on your bike think the sidestand is UP. Don't forget the sidestand when you drive away! |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH&am Post by Savage_Greg on 12/05/07 at 06:55:41 Yep...you're right and I corrected above. Guess you've been up a little longer than I :P Of course, I pulled the entire cable out so that's why I bypassed at the relay anyway. (So, why didn't I remove the relay too? Good question...think I will ;D) |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH&qu Post by Savage_Greg on 12/05/07 at 14:13:31 Now, ya wanna get rid of the clutch switch too? I did. There's nothing quite as satisfying as starting it in gear with the sidestand down :P |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH&qu Post by barry68v10 on 12/05/07 at 15:06:23 Whatever happened to the good ol' days when riding off with the kickstand down separated the rookies from the "riders" ;) |

Once again, I did it by removing the switch cable assembly completely from the lever. Then under the tank, I put a jumper on the electrical harness connector. Yep...it can be interesting without all the "safeties" in place. Usually about once a year, I push the starter button without pulling in the clutch. After that, I got it...that is until I sit on my spouse's bike and wonder why it won't start :P |

I'm such a fan of KISS, that any "unnecessary feature" I want to do away with. I consider all this "carp" as well as manual safties on guns, as "unnecessary features" ;D Also, why do I want my doors to automatically lock on my car when I put it in gear?!? Yet another useless feature to me! >:( |

Yeah, and if you equate it to automobiles it's like those that have the automatic seat belt attached to the door. No thank you. |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH&qu Post by govmule84 on 12/09/07 at 01:59:49 Hmm. I am licensed to carry a pistol, and my weapon of choice is a 1911...carried cocked and locked. I'd sure hate to tote it around without that safety... I wired around my clutch switch... I like to start one handed a lot, but the sidestand switch I was fine with...I don't forsee myself ever needing to drive with the stand down... |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH&qu Post by barry68v10 on 12/09/07 at 03:09:35 So what does the manual safety on the left side do that the backstrap safety does not? I have a 1911 as well, and never use the manual safety. Also really like my Ruger Super Blackhawk single-action 44 mag, the safety is between your ears. You don't put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to unleash fire. Works for both guns and motorcycles ;D |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH&qu Post by rigidchop on 12/09/07 at 04:11:37 i did mine the same way, and am getting rid of the clutch switch as well for tuning purposes. |
|
Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH&qu Post by Savage_Greg on 12/09/07 at 06:00:43 I removed them simply for simplicity. I may shoot myself in the foot from time to time, but I wanted fewer wires in the harness and less clutter around the frame. |

So it doesn't strand you when it fails. That is why I disabled mine. |

So just fabricate a jumper and put it in the tool kit. That way you have the best of both worlds. |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH" Post by Savage_Greg on 12/16/07 at 04:46:43 Is it all disabled now? |

Title: Re: How do I disable the "SIDESTAND SWITCH" Post by T-Mack1 on 12/16/07 at 18:40:01 Have yet to fine a need to disable the side stand switch. In netrual the bike starts fine with the side stand down. Haven't had a failure yet, "knock on wood". The PO kept the bike pretty clean. I do find the clutch switch annoying. If the bike is in neutral, I feel I shouldn't have to pullin the clutch lever. Honda been doing that for years. Maybe that's a winter project, get out the SuZuK FSM, such woonderful wintertime reading. |
