matthend Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 So I had a lowside a few weeks back. Broke my left mirror bracket, cracked my stator cover, broke windshield, and broke the kickstand sensor switch. Josh is supplying me with a stator cover (thanks again Josh). I was wearing all gear so luckily i just dislocated my shoulder. My question is how can I trick the switch to think my kickstand is down(I mean UP, thanks rhubarb) all the time? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I will try to get some pics up shortly. Thanks all Quote
rhubarbray Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Ummm, just wondering,.........why would you want the bike to think it`s down? Something tells me you`re not going to get very far every time you put it into gear! Quote
matthend Posted August 18, 2009 Author Posted August 18, 2009 ok i am an idiot... i meant up. (in my defense, it is early) Quote
TuffguyF4i Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 You can short it. All it is, is a continuity switch. Jumper the connector that comes from your harness. If you don't know where that is, follow the connector from the kickstand. Quote
matthend Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 ok, i have the three wires connected and it thinks it is up now, but the light stays on. Is this one of the three wires that controls that? Quote
matthend Posted August 19, 2009 Author Posted August 19, 2009 I unplugged the connector at the kickstand, and it is a three pronged receptacle. I plugged a piece of wire into each of these three and connected them all together at the end. Was this incorrect? Quote
cbrxxquad Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 two wires will tell it the stand is up and the other tell it to turn on the light. One is hot, and the others are, light and control. Jumper the hot to the control. leave the light out. Quote

JonXX Posted August 24, 2009 Posted August 24, 2009 And now you have a handy spot on your dash to put your radiator fan force-on switch. Quote
