Do yourself a favor a pick up a Digital Multimeter at Harbor Freight or Amazon. Once you read the book/ instructions you'll be good. One day you'll think how did I ever get by without this thing. Guaranteed!
MM, remember that the safety cut-out for the sidestand works when the bike is in-gear & the side-stand is down.I would have thought that if it was an issue with the safety cut-out systen the bike wouldn't start?
True, but the issue we are discussing here is that the bike will run whilst the starter button is pressed but then stops.MM, remember that the safety cut-out for the sidestand works when the bike is in-gear & the side-stand is down.
You have the bike on the sidestand. Let's say that you're in the saddle. You start the engine. It's running, sidestand is down.
You put-up/retract the sidestand, toe it into gear, and off you go.
Next:
Now, you're on the bike. Sidestand is down, bike is running. You straighten-up the bike, but you leave the sidestand down. You select first gear, but the sidestand is down. The engine dies.
The sidestand switch worked.
