So I've finally got to a point in my rebuild, after the crash 4 weeks ago, that I was ready to test the bike on the road...
Bike was reluctant to start at first, but it came to life and everything seemed like normal. Still on the centre stand I figured I'd check everything out first to make sure I didn't get any nasty surprises. Kicked it in to gear with the clutch pulled in and the engine cuts out... crap.
So I put my investigating hat on and immediately set about checking the Sidestand switch. Got my multimeter out and checked resistance across the switch - all good! Checked the Fuses (Haynes suggested to :\) and they all seem fine. At this point my multi-meter decided it would run out of battery power and I don't have any spares so that's me done for now and figured I'd get some ideas from you good folk
So here it is laid out;

So here it is laid out;
- Engine cuts out when put in to gear
- Sidestand switch tested ok with multi-meter
- Fuses ok
- Engine off, in 1st, clutch pulled in - won't start
