[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1405282, member: 6354"] Ignition switch is a very likely possibility, because it's a two-pole circuit. Two big wires are connected when the switch is on to power the bike, and two smaller wires are connected when the switch is on to complete the kickstand sensor circuit. If those don't connect, the bike thinks the stand is down and you have starter (and run) inhibit. That connection is "downstream" of all the systems that detect kickstand-down or clutched-in-gear, situations that normally allow a start, so that connection not making will inhibit starting, running, everything. Mine finally got so bad that I completely bypassed it with a plain old DPST rocker switch hidden down in the front spaces, and I lock the steering lock when parking the bike. Don't need the key to run my bike, just to unlock the steering. [/QUOTE]
