Kill Switches

[fallclassic02]

For anyone bypassing the kickstand kill be careful as it is easy to forget the kickstand is still down and riding off just to go fast enough so that once you lean on the left side the bike kicks itself at speed which could get ugly.

I sometimes forget the kickstand and try to go and it dies and I think that is a wise safety mechanism as you don't have to remember to remember as you would if you removed that mechanism. I would just replace the relay if you have problems without disabling it.

If you want to get rid of the clutch kil deal I don't see a problem unless you are rather new to bikes or something.

but if you're talking about just intentionally disabling it, then the clutch switch is a fail safe system. If it fails it doesn't start if it's in gear or if the clutch lever is pulled in. So simply disabling it wouldn't create the scenario you brought up.

huh?
