Kick stand kill switch
-
I noticed yesterday when I was going to start her up after a long ride (I literally shut her off and put the sidestand down and was going to start her up again immediately).
But no, it wouldn't fire. So I thought of bumpstarting, and it fired immediately.
Didn't really think much about it for the rest of the day, but this morning it wouldn't start with the stand down. It cuts the ignition when the stand is down, in neutral or not.
Is there any point disassembling it? Or should I ordered a new?

@irongamer727 Sounds more like the neutral switch is faulty.
Does it start if you pull the clutch in?
-
It starts with the stand down and the clutch in.
But cuts out as soon as I release the clutch(in neutral) -
@irongamer727 Definitely one of the switches have failed. I still need my morning coffee to think about which one.

@oldman where's the neutral switch?
-
@irongamer727 Under the gear lever. It's the black plastic tapped m8 or 10 bolt.
-
I've cleaned everything up. The neutral lamp and all that works. Could it still be faulty?

@dt125matt The switch is just that, a switch. So banging a resistor won't make a difference if the switch has gone faulty.
-
@calum ideas on what to try?
-
@irongamer727 Loop it out if you're struggling mate.
-
@calum anything that has current running through will have some form of resistance.
I deal with a lot of pro audio and everything from connectors to cable give resistance which is where my thoughts were laying.
It could be worth still measuring?
-
@dt125matt That's when detecting if the component has gone faulty. Measuring it's impedance.
But since a switch will have infinite internal resistance when open, then the results will be misleading.
Use impedance testing for say, Coil, Regulator
