3. Plug it to bridge two terminals on harness-side connector
4. Try starting with kickstand up, down, you on or off bike. Neat huh?
A paper clip? Hell yes that's neat. lol
I'll give it a try when I get home and report back. Someone is selling their '06 636 on facebook and they have the exact same issue. Said I would check with you guys and give him an answer. Thanks man. Seems like it's somewhat of a common issue but no one really has an answer.
