It wasn't intended as one and haven't had coffee yet so I may be missing the subtleties. (VBG) My KLR has a SPDT switch wired to by-pass the safety switches so the bike will run in gear with stand down when the switch is flipped. I use that switch position to lube the chain, engine running, tipped onto side stand, in first gear. When done spraying, flip the by-pass switch back to the normal position and the engine stops. Set the bike back down and the job is done. Guess I forgot to mention turning off the ignition switch..... I leave the bike in gear to prevent someone pushing it forward and folding the stand up- crash! The above procedure will not work for shaft drive bikes. Norm Off to make coffee and re-read the posts......(VBG) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
