side stand switch.
« on: 24 May 2014, 07:59:51 pm »
swapped the sidestand switch today, what a pain. The easy screw was solid, so heat was used that helped, the hidden screw though, what a bloody pain in the arse. Why make that so hard to get at. Thought I was either going to have to remove the downpipes of the engine to get at it. Then after struggling to feed the plug through tot he batter area the bloody plug was different. Cut the end off each but needed to go tot he garage 10 miles away for the heatshrink etc. That's when I found out the wire have to be a circuit, not open, for the bike to run. All done now but what a fit up

Why did you not push out the connectors and swap the connection blocks?
