Side stand switch removal

First, if you haven't already, find the side stand switch connector. You need to raise the tank. It's to the inside of the left frame rail, above the sprocket cover, zip tied to part of the harness. Undo the connector. It's easier to work on if you completely remove the switch. Modify the switch pigtail, not the main harness. Three wires come out of the connector and go into black plastic sleeve. About two inches from the connecror is some tape. Remove it. You'll see that the first sleeve is slipped into the main sleeve. After removing the tape, push the short sleeve into the main one as far as you can but not so far you cannot retrieve it. Cut the brown wire as far from the connector as you can. Bend it back towards the connector. Strip 3/8ths inch off the end. With out cutting the wire; strip 3/8ths inch of insulation off the black wire close to the connector. Wrap and solder the brown wire to the black wire. If you have the tool remove the terminal from the connector and put a piece of heat shrink on it. Pull the afore mentioned sleeve back into position and retape it. That's about it. Put it all back together.
