do they go bad or whats the deal with my bike. it starts and runs fine but as soon as i put it in gear it kills . any ideas is much need because i wanna go to to yo face . :YEAH

old man roger

make sure your kickstand is all the way up or just unplug the switch ...

some you can just unplug and others need to have the two wires connected so unplug it and see if the bike runs in gear , if not then connect the two wires

disconnect it and see if that works.



with the time it took you to post this, you probably could have diagnosed it yourself.

i believe you need to close the loop (connect the two together).

The bike's garbage, I'll give you 100 bucks for it

FREDERATOR

i did disconnect it . but i always scared about cutting wires that keep my bike running . ill try just making a jumper first before i cut it . thanks omr and stock

FREDERATOR

dont play ! thats a sweet deal for sure :YEAH

old man roger

there are two styles , i think my 636 i just unplugged it but im not sure , it has been a long time

stock05

either way, my original point was if you have an idea its the kickstand switch, then try it.

i understand you might not know much about bikes, but its a plug if it doesnt work then you can plug it back in. i would really like to see what you would have done without the net?

dude if it has connectors, more than likely they are both females, just slide them into each other and try it.

cutting should always be a last resort.

old man roger

jumper wire for a test , then if it works you know what to do

cut and loop... i did it to mine...

FREDERATOR

gold for sure ,the jumper wire worked . i know i shoulda tryed before i asked but i just wanted to check. thanks for the help

FREDERATOR

not sure what you mean but the wwires coming from the bike have prongs in it and the wires going to the switch is female .

stock05

good stuff glad i could help.



just think about it next time is all i ask, dont be so quick to think youre ghoing to mess something up.

stock05

the two female connectors will slide into each other. i will take a pic if you need me to.

bad idea to disconnect it, thats what caused my first crash on the street. went to dip left into a twistie and my stand was down

FREDERATOR

i dont hit the streets so im good and stock i got what you mean . all fixed ,now going to ride! peace

make sure you crimp down on them a little so they dont shake loose.

stock05

your connectors should look similar to these-




turn them so they face each other then slide one side into the other-



then crimp down on them a little so they dont slide out easily.
