Kickstand Switch

radco · 07-28-2015, 05:35 PM

I have having a minor issue with the kick stand switch! Start bike warm up kickstand up kick into gear it jumps a bit and the stalls! I assume the kickstand safety switch is not dis engaging?

Thanks Rich

Hey Rich , have you had any luck with the kick stand yet ? This will bump your post to the top.

I don't know if this helps, but if you connect the two wires coming from the switch together and it stays running, then the switch is the problem.

What your describing is exactly what happens when the clutch plates are sticking together usually from too long in storage. How long since this bike has been driven?

+1 it wouldn't jump a bit before stalling if it was any of the safety switches, it would just die.
Rich if you still Have this issue, you could try rocking the bike back and forth in gear pulling and releasing the clutch motor off. That might help but my preferred way to unstick the clutch plates is to put the front wheel against a solid object like a wall and let the clutch most of the way out and in a few times with a bit more revs than usual.

Bill I think you are 100 % right, The bike does not stall , when it does that I heard no sound difference when I pulled in the clutch. I started pumping the clutch handle now several times, and when I move the bike I drag the clutch abit to move the plates.. The bike has been sitting 2 years, started not driven Thanks
