So I tried jumping the switch harness with a u joint pin type wire and the bike turned on but didn't read that it was in neutral and it still stalled... ??? Could be something else? Is there a clutch switch? I'm still going to look into the sidestand switch. Bit more but so far I've tried the jumping technique and nada... :/

Under the left side chrome cover (if you have one), is a bunch of connectors. Here is a diagram that will help you find the side stand wiring harness. It's a 2 wire plug #55 on the diagram. I labeled a couple of other land marks.

Do u mean the switch by the battery? I think that's where the cable leads to...

I believe he's speaking of the kick-stand switch.  Should be on the frame by the kickstand.  Unplug the switch.  Install a jumper wire (u-shaped hair-pin type piece of wire) to connect the wires on the plug end coming from the bike wiring harness (NOT the connection on the switch itself).  Try to start.

If that works, the switch is bad.

This is assuming it's a normally-open switch (i.e. switch is "open" with kickstand down, and closes, making the connection, when the kickstand is put up).  It's unlikely it's normally-closed (EG opposite of normally open)

The switch side and the harness side of the connector. Jumping the wires on the harness side will bypass the switch, jumping the wires on the switch side will do nothing.

I agree wi/ Troll.  That sounds like it almost has to be the sidestand switch.  Did you put the kick stand up?   ::) just kidding, probly a bad switch.

Not a silly question... i had that problem the first bike i bought with a kickstand switch.

I'd try jumping across the side stand switch connector on the harness side, and see what happens.

Ok, let me see if I have this straight...the engine will idle ok, but stalls when you try to get moving from a stop...silly question, but does it roll ok if you push it around? I'm still thinking this is a problem with the sidestand switch......Does it stop as soon as you put it in gear, or when you start to ease out the clutch

Well as soon as I try and take off... When I disengage the lever pretty much and even with a little throttle it'll stall out...it goes into gear jus when I take off

The fuel filter is inside the tank, connected to the pump. Does the engine stop as soon as you put it in gear?

Can it also be the fuel filter? I actually might be running a lil rich because when I changed the spark plugs I was told they were saturated and they did smell alot like fuel...??

The wiring diagram and the service manual are not helpful. Shows it's a 2 wire switch, on or off.....There should be a connector under the engine with the two wires in it. I would first try disconnecting it and see if the engine runs, and if it doesn't , jumper across the harness side connector and see what happens. I suspect the two poles must be connected, but there is NO information in the manual....
