Title: Re: disabling sidestand switch on a 2006 s40 Post by Charon on 05/01/09 at 18:45:29 Why don't you just get another switch and fix the problem, instead of bypassing a safety? |

Title: Re: disabling sidestand switch on a 2006 s40 Post by Jay on 05/01/09 at 19:03:00 In installing forward controls, I had no choice in the matter of the side stand switch. There are instructs ( I think) on disabling it in the tech section; but what I did was to reroute the apparatus back to the part of the frame reserved for the Cali canister. I then wrapped zip ties around it to hold the plunger in, and then wrapped the whole mess in duct tape, and secured it to the part of the bike where the canister would sit with more zip ties. The reason I did this instead of snipping the wires was in case the forward controls didn't work out, or I ever wanted to return the bike to stock. I fully intended to go back and make the change permanent; but 5,000 miles plus later, I've frankly forgotten about the thing, and have never bothered to make the disabling permanent. |

Title: Re: disabling sidestand switch on a 2006 s40 Post by T Mack 1 on 05/01/09 at 19:41:24 On a '06, it's probably not the switch. More likely a wire issue. Unless you have a "flood" bike. Or if you're missing one of the springs. But, the way the switch works: .... sidestand up, switch makes contact (closes), allows bike to run when not in neutral. .... sidestand down, switch opens the contacts. Bike will only run in neutral. Now.... get you high school science book out and read the chapter on electricity.... Also, when I installedmy Ed L.'s I added lenght to the SS switch wire. |

Title: Re: disabling sidestand switch on a 2006 s40 Post by prechermike on 05/02/09 at 11:08:30 I too added a little wire to keep the switch in place. I figure I make enough dumb mistakes without asking for one. |

Always solder the wires. Twisting the wires together will later be the headache you don't want. Use heat-shrink tubing too. Do it right, you'll be happier in the long run. 47585B575F5C554640340 wrote:
The switch is held in place by two screws (or was it three..... :-?). Crawl under and look . I seem to remember that it is a funny angle and you might be able to get it out but .... maybe not. |

Title: Re: disabling sidestand switch on a 2006 s40 Post by texsam on 05/02/09 at 14:21:17 the thing is i don't even know if it is the switch i'm thinking of letting the dealership diagnose it....and i'll put it together its like 80 bucks but i know electrical is a headache and kinda a guessing game but i'm scared if i take it in it won't act up and they will just take money and i'll be sol >:( |

Short out the connector under the seat to do a diagnosictic run. Make use you tape up waht ever you use to short it out. Don't want it falling out or touchingsome piece of metal. |

That is what I did, solder and heat shrink tubes. I was adding Ed L's forward controls, I did not remove the switch, just cut the wires. |
