Im pulling the sidestand off at the moment and notice it has a cut off sensor switch on the stand housing, so if the stand is down and a gear is engaged it cuts off the engine.
I wonder how to get around this, do I just cut the wire and take it off and hope it doesnt cut the engine everyime I engage a gear or does it need some re wiring wizardry beyond my capability ?

Any help much appreciated thanks

cut the switch off and connect the two wires permanently together, thus the 'switch' is engaged, telling the bike the stand is up

Unless, it's the other way 'roind.

youll nut it out soon enough.

Birthday boys shouldn't be working on their bikes anyway mate.

Edit: And yes "roind" is a fucken word.

I really hate those darn things Mostly they are cut and join the wires. Unless it's the other way round. I also really hate those stupid switches that stop you using the starter unless in neutral.

Surely manufacturers can assume that bikers have some smarts. We wouldn't stay upright long without them.

Yamaha had the cut out switch attached to the top gear rpm limit connectors on the TRX's CDI. If you removed the sidestand cutout you limited yourself to 7,000rpm in all gears. Get a diagram and make sure it isn't involved in another circuit.

Surely that wouldn't make any difference if you just bridged the switch wires. It seems OTT to have a monitored circuit just for a side-stand.

"Safety"

If you bridge the RPM limit connection you deactivate the cut out switch. If you get any wire snipping and reattaching wrong once you were limited to 7000rpm in any gear and needed a new CDI to get around it.

There is no such word as 'roind'. However, on Dictionary.com, there is

a·roint ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-roint)
tr.v. Archaic
Used in the imperative to express an order of dismissal: “Aroint thee, witch!” (Shakespeare).

That must be what you meant, eh WT?
And yes. I am very bored today.

First bit of advice was correct. You need to wire them together perminently on GSXR400's
Looking forward to seeing you out on the track!!!!!!!! :niceone:

If I had a buck for everytime I had seen someone ride off with their stand down, I could afford to buy a coffe on Ponsonby Road!!!!
I have even done it myself a couple of time's.
And just for the record LOTS of us don't stay upright for very long :killingme

Meh. But good design stands fold back on forward movement when unloaded.

Now, riding off with the *centrestand* down, that's more impressive.

I used to do it all the time on the little Yamaha 50 I rode to Uni. Left it parked on the centrestand, ignition on (it was a magneto ignition , and only a lunatic would have bothered stealing it), in first gear. Come out in the morning hurdle into the saddle over the rear (it was only a 50cc remember). Impact hitting the seat would knock the bike forward off the stand, rear wheel hits the ground with enough forward impetus to spin the motor, fires up and away.

Oddly enough the little Yammy was also very good at riding up and down stairs. At once time I used to park it on the verandah.

Sense ? , hm hang on, I'm sure I've got some of that. I keep it in an old tin box, somewhere here at the back of the workshop, behind the old paint brushes. Yeah here it is, pretty dusty though, don't use it much.
