The stand switch has been taken off for 5 years because he found it annoying. The way it works is that as long as the switch is out, the circuit is complete and the current gets back to the ignition box. Put the stand down, and the button goes in, and breaks the connection, and it dies. Take the switch off the end of the wires, and twist the wires together where they are in constant connection, and the stand switch is overridden. The thing is, the wires are either in contact or they are not. It either has a completed circuit or it does not. You can't make it contact every 8th revolution perfectly every time, and only while in gear, but not while in neutral. It definitely has nothing to do with the stand switch. It is too consistent and related to too specific a circumstance to be an intermittent ground fault or short. I think this has to be in the master electronics. I am going to check the fuses tonight and check the neutral position indicator that is just forward of the front sprocket as well. Since it happens in direct correlation with the gear position, that seems the logical place to start. As far as the turn signals, wierd things happen when there is a short, so the common denominator that links the separate issues must be the master electronics, a fuse or a short in the neutral indicator. I'll play with it tonight and see what I can see, and check a few things with the voltmeter--a reading from the neutral indicator going into the box should confirm or eliminate that. Here we go, oh boy....
Let me say thanks now for all of your input. Even if none of it works, I appreciate the support! :-) Hopefully something will though. I refuse to give those a-holes at our local dealership any of my money..... Login or Register to Remove Ads |
