Kickstand switch...Bypass?

[RemainIncognito]

Can someone tell me how to bypass the kickstand switch on my 03 xb9s? Narrowed my problem down to the kickstand switch. Any pics of where and what wires to cut and splice would be nice.

Doesn't the switch have wires coming from it? If it does i bet its them

Where is the switch located? I'm reading different things on this. I'm seeing by the stand, by the swing arm and under the seat which is why I'm asking.

Well according to this picture i would start with the stand seams like the easiest one to look for

Yup, trace the two wires that run to the sidestand & short them together; switch bypassed!

unplug it from the sidestand and clip them then wire them together, problem solved.

I don't see a switch anywhere. Killing me! Bike starts, neutral light on, idles fine, put kickstand up pull in clutch, drop into 1st and bike stalls!

There is a rotary switch that turns and closes a circuit when you put the kick stand up... There should be wires running to the very base of the kick stand.... I'll go take a pic of mine

Great thank you!

No problemo man.... Hopefully that points ya in the right direction....

So it's the plastic plug that is actually the switch? So cutting that out and hard wiring together should work?

You can just unplug it and jump the two terminals together with a wire my man... You don't have to cut the plug off... You can do this till you replace the switch (if you're going to that is)...

I can go take another picture and point out the switch for ya.... One sec...

This plug runs to....

.... this switch...

When your kick stand is up it closes the circuit inside of itself and sends a signal to the ECM so it will allow it to run when you take it out of neutral... Just unplug it and jump the two terminals in the plug on the bike side of the switch... The side that runs to the bike, not the one that runs to the switch...

Am I clearing up your confusion man??.... If not I'll take more pics if you need a walk through... It's not a problem... The bike is right out underneath my carport...

Thank you, I appreciate the help. I just cut it off and spliced together. That problem is fixed but I believe my plugs may be fouled.

Replaced plugs and bypassed kickstand switch but still having issues. Bike hits a flat spot about 2k to 4k and chokes out. Any ideas?

Ooooo .... Well mine has a stutter (just like everybody else's) from about 2.5k - 3k rpms ... but that goes away about 3k and below 2.5k ... Sooooo ... i'm not 100% what would be causing that man ... =\ glad we got the other issue fixed anyway!!!

I'm getting a "sidestand input always high" error code off my ECM Droid.

I can't find any wires down by my sidestand. Could anyone tell me where those wires would lead to? Pics would be really appreciated!

Sidestand switch.

But if someone cut off that sidestand switch and wired it up higher, where does it ultimately lead to? Somewhere up by the handlebar, or towards the ECU in the back?
