Hey guys, random one for you bike starts and idles fine, but when raising the kickstand the engine cuts out. Normally with the kickstand down and in gear I know it cuts the engine and won't start then, but I can still press the ignition ition switch and its like its trying to start on a cold day.
I'll get a video in the morning but any ideas would be great
Sounds like the kickstand switch is not moving freely.
I've got a kickstand switch that does the same, switch is no good, in my case I drilled a hole 180 degrees opposite to the one already in the stand and remounted it, works but doesn't work as a safety switch any more
You can also just remove it and with a jumper wire make the bike think the sidestand is up.
I have also ran that circuit to a hidden toggle switch for a rudimentary theft deterrent on a buddy's bike that parked downtown. While it doesn't prevent the bike from being thrown in a truck, if they smash the ignition every time they put it in gear it dies.
New Kickstand Switch has arrived today, so will let you know if it solves the issue! Appreciate the help here guys
