side stand safety bypass

Did the safety bypass last night. Cut the wires directly above the switch, soldered together & the bike started. What I found surprising is that the bike would start in 1st gear and the tire turn when the clutch was released, whether the 2 wires were connected or not. No mistake in choosing the wires as I followed the directions at www.klr650.marknet.us hmmm..... hill_buster

klr air compressor/widder connection help

Tim, Yes, the compressor will be OK. The polarity isn't an issue, because the pump works the same regardless of the direction of rotation. I don't know about the Widder because I don't know whether the polarity is an issue with the Widder control. But if the polarity is hooked up the same as what Widder specifies, you'll be OK, too. If the Widder control doesn't have any electronic parts, (diodes, transisters, etc.), polarity probably isn't an issue. Mike Martin Louisville, KY --- Tim Gadler wrote:
