Hyosung GT250R 2008 - side-stand switch

[Saurav Verma]

My Gt250r stalls in first gear; reason faulty Side stand switch. DIY: find the switch under side stand, cut and short the wire and make sure to tape em. problem solved.

P.S. Don't forget to lift side stand before riding off.

I would rather crash at 5kmph than, doing 100 on m.way... if the switch fails midway (no switch, no problems)

I heard of someone who took off down the road with their side stand down, got up to about 50 Km/Hr and leaned left and pole vaulted off the bike.
Not a good outcome.

Pros and cons ae!

I don't think that by-passing a safety feature on your bike is the best move, and not the best advice for newbies.

A ride-away (or attempted ride-away) with the stand down is more common than you think.

back a few years well before I actually got my licence lol. left the dairy (right hand U turn) only had one LH corner to go round to get home about half a km up the road slowed for the corner, leaned in and WHAMMO gave me a hell of a fright, though i managed to stay upright. never done it again!!!!!!!
I too own a GT250R and although lesson in my case has been learned still would never remove any safety features from my bike. they are there for a reason
