Kick stand kill switch
-
@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

You say that but its similar to a seat belt light with a pressure plate in the seat...
Essentially its just a open close switch.... open when no one is seated ....
Closed when seated...
Try to loop these and you will still have a seat belt light... because there is a resistance thats caused by the switch.... maybe only 0.6 ohms but its enough. Only way to get over that is looping via a resistor.Obviously i must be mistaken in way of the DT, as i am new to this side of the mechanical world but its just an idea !
