Venturous Randy Posted September 5, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 5, 2011 My 83 will not run with the sidestand down with the bike in neutral with clutch out. If I pull the clutch in just a little bit, it will run. It acts this way with two different CMS's and sidestand switches. When I put it in neutral, the light comes on as it is supposed to, so it appears it is getting power through the shifting mechanism. Any suggestions?

Venturous Randy Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted September 5, 2011 One other thing, with the side stand down and in neutral, the starter will crank over, but it just will not fire. I had the side cover off and if the B/W wire was grounded, would it ground the igniter with the side stand down? RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyA Yes it would, side stand relay is down. See schematic I posted above. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brown Angel Posted September 5, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 5, 2011 If I'm not mistaken it's a safety feature the bike has... If the kickstand is down and clutch is not ingaged it will not run. The actuator is on the kickstand itself. if I'm not mistaken Angel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should run in neutral with the side stand down without the clutch in. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted September 6, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 6, 2011 Shouldn't they also start in gear with clutch pulled in? Mine won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted September 6, 2011 Share #10 Posted September 6, 2011 Shouldn't they also start in gear with clutch pulled in? Mine won't. Mine didnt either until i put a new clutch switch in, my cruise was flaky also, and now its rock solid. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturous Randy Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted September 6, 2011 Shouldn't they also start in gear with clutch pulled in? Mine won't. It should start in gear with the clutch pulled in if the sidestand it up. RandyA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingy Posted September 6, 2011 Share #12 Posted September 6, 2011 Quick check to isolate the sidestand switch is to pull connector apart and connect all three wires together on harness side and see if problem goes away. If it does then side stand switch is defective. One conductor is a ground and other two conductrs are signal wires, so tying all three together presents no issues.
