Title: Sidestand Safety Switch
Post by genejohnson on 03/06/10 at 11:03:58

Lets say that I wanted to disable it! Will clipping the green and white wire at the De-comp Timer do it or will it have to be grounded if clipped? I am also working on a barebones schematic and this the last area of concern. Gene

trace the two wires from the kickstand up under the seat. Theres a connector there. Cut before or after and solder or twist and tape the two wires together.

Solder. An engine shutting off can be a big problem.

Then I am right in assuming the Green/White wire coming from the De-comp Timer should be grounded? The schematic will not show what is on the bike now, but what it will be in the future.

why do this?

I can't tell you what genejohnson's reason is, but Ihave been considering it. I put on a forward controls kit, and with my feet farther forwad, and the angle changed, I have hit the sidestand with my heel a couple times while riding, and nudged it just enough to cut the engine. I am also thinking about going down to Home Depot and seeing if I can find a stronger spring that will fit to hold it tighter. I'd rather not eliminate the circuit if I can avoid it. Don't want to void the warranty on my '97 :)

I don't mean for this to be harsh or said in a meanful way.... but i've noticed on a lot of threads, that critizism or an answer thats not answering the question occurs a lot. I only wanted to know about one wire exiting the De-comp Timer but it seems no one understood the question or took the time to do so. Only last week I asked Lancer what he thought about a dual carb design. Not once did he comment about such a design. He only rehashed what is being done now to improve the carburation. I meerly wanted to know what he thought of such a design, not what is better. I've been riding since the fifties but I still learn something everyday and a lot of that knowledge comes from this forum. I've made myself a promise not to critize anyone or ask why but to try and answer what they have asked. Gene

Disabling a safety is generally a bad idea. Yes, I have heard the arguments about its possible failure leaving you stranded on the road. Yes, I know the part about "reducing unnecessary wiring so the bike looks better." Yes, I know removing the switch and the wiring will reduce weight by a couple or three ounces. I still think removing or disabling it is a bad idea. For that reason I refuse to offer any sort of advice on ways to do it.

Didn't Burnpgh answer your question?

No, I'm starting with a bare frame and engine using a schematic that isn't very clear on the point in question. Gene

I bypassed mine by shorting across down at the sidestand. All the wires & diodes & the desire to make it not a permanent thing made me do it that way.
