The manual says that with a faulty side stand switch :- The motor runs when the transmission is in neutral, but does not run when the transmission is in any other position, with the side stand up.

This means that if the side stand switch IS faulty, the motor will start, but as soon as it's put in gear, it will cut out.

I too can't see why this switch would cause the lights to fail. Also, he says side stand RELAY, not SWITCH. This is located under the seat (it's a combined turn signal/side stand relay) & I can't understand how this would fail. Also, for someone who professes to know nothing about electrics, to suddenly buy a meter & immediately find a faulty relay is, to say the least, suspicious. I don't think anyone with no knowledge of testing would understand what each wire did, when it went into the relay, never mind working out the wiring in a dual relay.

Flippy, if we're wrong about you, will you tell us how you arrived at your conclusion, & what tests you performed. There may be something we missed, & if you're genuine, then please accept our apologies, but we need to prove that you're not playing around with us.
