side stand switch

Post by alanfjones1411 »

My bike done a "carb fart" and stalled while sitting in traffic and when i pulled in the clutch and pressed the starter nothing happened,it's idling at 1100/1200 rpm.My question is should it have engaged the starter motor with clutch in and in gear.The starter engaged when i put it in neutral.Every other bike i've owned have re-started while in gear and clutch pulled in.Could it be a faulty switch either clutch or side stand ? It stalls when put in gear with side stand down which i know is normal.

There are 2 connections by the clutch lever, check they're both connected. If one or both are off it will need to be in neutral to start.

Both wires are on the clutch switch.

Have you got a multimeter to check the switch is working? As far as I can tell from the wiring diagram the clutch switch is connected to the side stand switch and the ICM one side and the starter relay and a diode on the other, so not too many things to check.
I'd go with the Clutch switch or the diode

I think it's the clutch switch.I'll get a new one over the weekend and try it.
