Safety Switches
So I have an issue with what I think is my clutch safety switch.
Symptom: Engine intermittently cuts out while running at various highway speeds. RPM's will drop to 0. Pulling the clutch in and thumbing the starter will typically restart the bike, or pulling the clutch in and letting it out to "push start" (at 70 mph!!) will restart the bike. This has happened a few times now. Troubleshooting: While on a recent trip, I was unable to get it started again. A quick search through the FAQ showed how to bypass the safety switches. I bypassed the clutch safety switch (remove harness from clutch safety switch on the handlebars and jumper black/yellow to black/red) and the bike now runs fine. I tested the kickstand safety switch after bypassing the clutch safety switch, and it still shuts the bike down if attempting to ride with the kickstand down. Question: I feel like this pretty strongly indicates an issue with the clutch safety switch, but I am not completely convinced. Is there anything else I can do to test and make sure it isn't the gear selector switch or possibly an issue with the sidestand switch as it connects to the run circuit? Unfortunately this is an intermittent issue which has made it tough to nail down... |

Switches wear out over time, you can do a continuity test on the switches and pull them like 100 times and see if you get any failed tests.
