Thanks
Hey mate. Did this just the other week to mine as it was having the same issue. the switch was full of gunk and crap so decides to remove it completely.
The small metal bracket that holds the stand also houses the kickstand killswitch on the inside. you should see 2 small screws/bolts holding it on.
remove these screws and switch should hang by just a thick black wire.
Cut the wire near the switch and you see two seperate wires housed inside the black insulation.
strip both of these wires back and twist the exposed metal cores together, completing the circuit.
then wrap the end of the wire in sparky tape making sure that there is no way any water/road crap can get inside.
pull the cable taught and use 1 or 2 cable ties to secure the wire to the frame of the bike.
crack open a beer and get your misus to make you a sandwich!
by the way, it makes it a hell of a lot easier if you take the left side fairing off first unlike me bieng a stubborn bugger and taking it off when i was nearly finished the job!!
shouldnt take more than 15 minutes if you are familiar with how to remove your fairings (and put them back on!!)
