Kickstand Switch

[memetic]

Can someone please direct me as to which wires get connected to bypass the kickstand switch? I can't seem to locate it in my manual. I'd really appreciate any help with this -- I'm tired of sitting on my bike while it warms up...

Thanks

what bike/year you have?

Thank you.

you can connect pin 2+3 but its absolut not recommended !!!
if you forget the kickstand is out you get in trouble in the next corner !  

better use a conversion kit ,for example our

you can rund the engine while kickstand is out and neutral gear is in, if you switch to another than neutral while kickstand is out the engine stop!
this can safe a lot of money later  

so be sure your modification stop the engine in case you will drive with kickstand out

Not sure when Men lost the ability to put their kickstands up...

Probably around the same time they started getting manicures.

And just wait until both of you develop Halfsheimers..., then all will be clear!

I forgot to put my kickstand up in 1978.  I've seen others do it and the kickstand retracts as soon as it touches the pavement.  I wasn't so lucky.

I ended up taking a piece of copper wire and jumping the wires at the connector (about 12" up the frame from the kickstand). Works like a charm and I didn't have to cut and splice any wires, which means I can simply take the jumper out and return to stock.

Got rid of my kickstand switch a long time ago, i made it a habit that the first thing i do when i get on the bike is to flip the stand up.Scary thought riding around with that kickstand still down.

Thing is.. you all are complaining... but...
the suicide stand was a worst experience and the first time my '99 was ever dropped.
damn thing had a false neutral on startup. i was standing on the right side of the bike and it jumped and the kickstand flipped up.

after i got rid of the suicide with conversion bolt i forgot it one time. scared the hell out of me. i lucked out, it didn't fold but didn't crack the case or dump me.

having a safety switch to remind me... i'm not a complainer. it's easy to get distracted just once.
