1998 boxeye.
I started the bike as per normal at work (no choke and just a slight blip on the throttle). I made the mistake of forgetting the sidestand so when I engaged 1st the engine cut out. Would it start? I tried putting the stand up and down several times, operating the kill switch then back to the sidestand. At no point would it start. Eventually I wound the throttle full open and cranked it over for about 10 seconds and it finally caught.
To me this doesn't sound like the sidestand switch as it started after I'd given up with it.
