bypassing clutch and sidestand idiot switches

Post by Lawrence » Tue Apr 03, 2007 10:48 pm

Hi, All Where are the instructions to bypass those stupid switches? I know I saw them somewhere. Mine have started acting up, and I don't want to be twenty miles from somewhere and unable to start my bike. Now it never starts in gear with the clutch in, which I think it used to, and it needs to do if I stall it somewhere facing up the hill. Those switches seem to me to be a vary stupid idea. Regards, Larry Leach

bypassing clutch and sidestand idiot switches

http://www.klr650.marknet.us/safetyswitch.html Them tiny spades are .187" unlike the common .250" For the clutch and pretty sure the side stand also, I just carry a spare jumper on the bike for the sidestand since I have yet to bypass that one, but got my hands on a small handful of the tiny spades and made up a few jumpers.

You're posting from a gmail account, which can easily take that, why not have them send the info to there? Then you don't have to drive to town to delete the emails, just use gmail's web interface to do that. Pat http://bike.stu.ph/rides Jim wrote:
