Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
Fantastic......I hope.
Hopefully the stand switch really was the problem and not one of those "what nots" that will come back to haunt you later. :cool:

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
So now there's another problem.......or maybe the stand switch wasn't the real problem to begin with. Check the kill switch. You could have bumped it by mistake OR that might be the whole problem. ...

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
You misunderstood something along the way. It should fail when the switch is disconnected.....in exactly the same fashion as having the side stand DOWN......I think. The failure to turn over now...

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
Have you ordered a new switch assembly yet.......or made an appointment at the dealer ??

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
Either:
1) It vibrates more and the marginal contact becomes MORE marginal

2) You have an entirely different problem that you will need to address AFTER you solve the problem of dying when you...

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
All you have to fear is fear itself.
You've had the connectors apart once and that's about as complicated as it gets for this problem.
The "switch" only comes as the whole assembly. Look at it...

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
The side-stand switch itself. With the wires off, in one position the switch should be wide open; in the other position, is should be a dead short. Note that in the position where it is supposed to...

Re: Backfiring and uneven idle
Me neither. Maybe we need another sample video and some narration.
Or maybe we should just ask his kid what the problem is !! :shocked: :crackup

That might be a better idea than you think. :)

Yes, the first proceedure is a good thing to do.
A blocked vent in the gas cap will cause it to stumble and die after running for a couple of minutes. Up to that time, it should run fine. From...
