So now I cant be arsed getting another one, So i want to just disconnect the fecking crappy sidestand.

Is it just a case of unplug the switch and give it the middle finger as when its disconnected the sidestand switch light does not light up on the dash??

Thanks

well I brought my mille about 1.5 months ago and found out it does not have a sidestand switch. nothing! No light on the dash either.

Going to get put back when I get one and also sort out my gsxr stand

The only problem I can see with disconnecting the side stand switch is that you will not know if its up or down...................could be embarrassing

Without having the electrical drawings to hand ( im at work) would it be possible to leave the sidestand down indicator on the screen but to disable the engine cut-out function :dunno

Right

Ive sorted it.

The sidestand switch is a major problem.

As a safety issue it is advisable to leave the green wire intact inorder for the light to illume for the sidestand on the dash .

The priniciple is to bridge the 2 outer wires in order to satisfy the Loom that there is a safety contact that the sidestand is up.

The brown and Black are spliced together leaving the Green wire intact.

see below

Best of both worlds.
