- May 28, 2018, 08:27:38 AMwell...since I superglued the switch in the "run" position, I don't really need to "jump" it....just can't use it until I replace the whole right side control...and since my control housings are fully chromed, I will need to buy a used one and swap out the guts.....I most likely will get one off of ebay and just solder it in like the original....by the way, I really hate dealing with electrical issues; there are so many variables to trace down..I think that I just go lucky on this issue by finding it fairly quickly

- May 23, 2018, 13:49:03 PMwell...I found the issue...there was no power to the starter switch and only power on one side of the kill switch contacts....bad kill switch..it had started to split apart and was no longer making contact across internal contact points....since I don't ever use it (I turn off with the key every time), I glued it together and will replace it when I have some spare time....what a PITA! I guess plastic does get brittle after 17 years....

- May 23, 2018, 11:22:06 AMOkay...so I have check the clutch switch...took it off and cleaned it with electrical contact cleaner, re-seated the connector, cleaned the starter switch and still nothing....neutral light is green, everything looks good....still nada....somewhere something is interrupting the connection between the starter switch and the starter itself....I guess I will start checking voltage and amps between the two when the starter button is pressed.....

I don't have the diagram in front of me, and it's been a while since I tried it - but I believe if I remember correctly, you can put it gear with the side stand down, and it runs until you let the clutch out -- so check out clutch lever switch.
GB, you're right.
The bike will run even with the side stand down and the gear ingaged, but you have to keep the clutch lever pulled.

- May 22, 2018, 19:14:15 PMNeed help...So today I rode to my research farm this morning. When I stopped to open the gate, I put the bike in neutral and put down the kickstand....and the bike just died...I made sure I was in neutral (indicator light is green) and push the starter button....nothing....I put the stand back up and down a couple of times and then moved in and out of neutral a few time, too. Finally, it started. However, when I went to head home this afternoon....nothing again...and no matter what I did to try and play with neutral and the kickstand...nothing. I can hear the injectors click when I press the started button...but nothing else. So, is it the neutral cut-off switch? Or?? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
