Kickstand switch has a mind of its own

[joezxr]

Iv recently developed an intermittent problem with my 2003 ZX6R!

Every now and again I pull up to park, kick my stand down whilst in neutral and its shut the bike off? I then have to kick my stand up and down a few times to get the starter button to work again...

I have cleaned the switch, opened it up and followed the wiring and everything looks fine, its like its working opposite to how its supposed to.

Just some info, I can start it in gear with the clutch pulled and stand up, and if I go into gear with stand down it cuts out like its supposed to

Anyone know if this is a common thing and how to fix it?

Get a new sidestand switch. They're not usually expensive.

Shove a bent paperclip into the clutch switch terminal block and remember to put the stand up before you ride away.

Thanks for the advice but the problem is not the kickstand switch it turns out because it is working cutting off the bike like it should...

So iv been over the whole starter system with a multimeter!

Kickstand switch operational
Clutch switch operational
Neutral switch is in good condition and works

BUT

I can't seem to figure out how to test the wire going to the neutral switch, both the clutch switch wiring and neutral switch wiring integrate and go into a red and green wire that enters the fuse box through the starter system fuse and starter circuit relay which is located in the fuse box, as far as I'm aware this wire sends a signal the the starter system and ECU telling the bike its okay to start.

If I pull the clutch there is resistance from the fuse box to clutch switch, but I'm not sure how to link the circuit from the nuetral switch because I don't understand what type of electrical black magic it uses.

Does the switch have a constant live going to it and when the switch is pushed it grounds itself to send a signal or visa versa?

Had a similar problem with my NC29 back in the day.
When I hit about 9k RPM, the vibrations would cause the switch to cut the engine out, but it would be a juddery, jerky ride as it dropped below, and rose above 9k.

Bypassed the piece of shit in the end, and learned to check the stand before pulling away (Like you should do anyway).

Short it out, it was only put there because of H&S Nazis.
