Kick stand kill switch
-
Isnt it worth someone measuring resistance of the kill switch on another dt ? And purchasing a cheap resistor of same Ohms and that should do it ?
P.s im new here.

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?

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 !

I know, cause I've had them fail before and just looped them out the circuit.

Does anybody know how to check if the neutral relay is working without replacing it?
My bike cuts out as soon as the sidestand is down, even in neutral.

So it should exist in one of two states, either open or closed.
An impedenace test on the item will show that no matter what state the item is in, the impedence never changes. That's when you know it's failed.

It's connected to a diode (not the neutral lamp). Anyone know where this is?

Broken wire found. Let's hope this is it
