You can put the switch back in, but short it so that it thinks the side-stand is always up.

Since you removed the switch, the bike thinks the side-stand is always down now. Put the switch back on, or get a connector the same and just loop a wire through it to fool it.

Just don't come crying if you ride off with your sidestand down and crash on the first left-hander.

I managed it on a ped once, years ago. And no, it didn't fold up, it dug into the ground and spat me off.

Mate was less than impressed.

Yes, XS250 Custom, broke the lads leg when it fell heavy on him in the middle of the road. The switches are there for a reason.

It'll just fold back up unless you lean over stupidly, stupidly quick.


Yes, a women 3 doors down from my house died on her scooter when i was about 8.

She got about 100 meters up the road and her sidestand was still down, the moped toppled and she died instantly.

She left 2 boys behind (one of which was in the same year as me at school). Pretty shit isnt it.

How do people like you manage to fucking breath? Jesus christ, just go fucking shoot yourself you idiot.

I can understand not understanding complicated electronics, but a simple normally open open switch? sad

Who was the guy who crashed on a straight road as he went through a dip and loaded up the suspension and upped up with a bent side stand bracket? Think it was an SV650 Confused
