Okay. We bought another vmax for the wife. Needed a starter clutch and had a dead spot right at the start of throttle travel. Someone sometime put a toggle switch on to control the fan, although the fan still comes on like it should....no heating up issues either so not sure why they did this. Took to a shop (local Yamaha place) and had carbs cleaned and synced etc. Still have the dead spot intermittently, sometimes of you turn the fan switch on...and I noticed today it did it when I started the bike with kickstand down, and locked the stand up. Obviously we have an electrical issue...any suggestions where to start?
 
Okay quick update....if instant the bike with the kickstand down....eveeythimg is fine. Pop up the kickstand and it starts to have issues.
 
IS the kickstart switch wired-in? It should run on the kickstand being down, it's when you try to put it in-gear with the kickstand down, it should shut-off.
