Phooey Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ok guys, I left for work this morning and the bike stalled with the sidestand up. In fact, it stalled several times. When I put the sidestand down and then back up it started ok. Leaving work it happened again. Took a few minutes of putting sidestand down and back up before it worked. I am assuming that there is some kind of switch on the sidestand? What am I looking for and what should I be looking to do? Is it a clean, adjustment or replacementof switch?

Stu Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 yup its the side stand switch its attached somewhere near the pivot on the sidestand give it a good soaking with WD40 and get it moving then degrease it and lube it up a bit of grease worked in to it will suffice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 its a doddle to do stick it on the centre stand stick the side stand up and you should be able to get to the switch you may need to lay on the floor though as its right underneath 10 min job including a cuppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RantMachine Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 This thread reminds me, I need to take my sidestand off this Friday so I can ask the hardware store to weld it back together - snapped off the protruding bit that you use to kick it down! Might get a bigger foot stuck on it while I'm there, can't make my mind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phooey Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Sorted. It was indeed a doddle. Pulled back the rubber and cleaned off the plunger. Lots of WD40 and rubber back on. Works a dream.As Stu said, it was a doddle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
