[QUOTE="Goody, post: 875821, member: 24060"] OK, picked it up from Stadium today. Dean did every thing he could to trace the problem, but could not make it happen for him. This is the frustrating part of diagnostics. If it would stay broke it's fairly simple to fix. Anyway, he found the two wires going to the right handlebar kill switch had corrosion, so replaced the ends on those. Also found some 12 to 14 connectors under the take that had varying degrees of corrosion and replaced those. Put dielectric grease on everything and we hoped for the best. Alas, it was not to be. It happend another 6 or 8 times this evening, and this time I was more in tune with what was happening. The bike absolutely will not start back up until it is in neutral. As I said before, the dash remains lit, all instruments are working. If in gear and you pull the clutch in, then hit the starter button, the engine does not turn, the orange engine light comes on and you can hear the fuel pump buzzing. As soon as you find neutral it will turn over and start right up, clutch in or out. Is there anyway to disable the kickstand swith or defeat the circuit? [/QUOTE]
