genejohnson Full Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 100	Sidestand Safety Switch 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

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.

Eschew obfuscation.

Re: Sidestand Safety Switch Reply #11 - 03/07/10 at 10:20:13 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.
