Niallmac YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 25 UK	Cut out when put into gear 07/11/22 at 04:35:31 Hi I’m having a problem whereby the engine starts up fine but stops as soon as I put it into gear. Almost like it had an ‘intelligent’ side stand that cuts the engine when put into gear with it down. Any thoughts please? Cheers Niall LS650 1994

It's working perfectly as designed. The side stand needs to be "up" when you put it in gear. There is indeed a switch for that.

Now, if only there was a way to prevent getting off the bike without the side stand down.... Undecided

Do you have it idled down to get a loping idle sound?
It's supposed to be up around 1,100 RPM, IIRC.
If I'm wrong, someone will have the right answer.

Pull the clutch lever
Put it in first gear
If it doesn't roll pretty easily
Maybe The clutch is not disengaged enough to not kill it.

You can try picking it up off idle and drop it in gear. But be holding the front brake.

You know you better be on it for that,,

If that isn't it, then digging into the wiring at the sidestand switch is probably the next step.
Surely the people who know these things inside and out are following this and Hopefully, if I'm steering you wrong, someone will step in and take over for me. It's been a coupla years since I even had one. And I forget stuff.
