Won't idle with kick stand down
Ok, let me start off with, I'm not a n00b to vehicle electronics.
Vehicle = 1997 Kawasaki ZX-6R (F) If kick stand is up or if I put a jumper connecting the two wires that lead to my kick stand sensor it idles fine. ALSO my bike will run allow me to shift into gears while idling. Now, I took apart the sensor and it looks perfect, it breaks the circuit when the kick stand is down, completes it when up....nice clean connections. Lastly, when I ride around - I connect the sensor up properly and it runs great with kickstand up. Please advise - I hate this - Justin |
RE: Won't idle with kick stand down
isn't that the point of the kickstand switch? to keep it from running with the kickstand down and alow it to run only when up?
if you want it to idle with the stand down then you'll just have to leave it jumpered. from what i've read its a REALLY common mod. when i bought my zx6r the kickstand switch had already been completely removed from the bike |
RE: Won't idle with kick stand down
so with the bike in neutral it does not idle with the stand down? and if you put the stand up she idles fine?
Could be that the switch is faulty, when the stand is down and your in neutral it is not making 100% contact. I feel sorry for the foos that remove the side stand safety switch, they do too when they bite it. |

RE: Won't idle with kick stand down
huh, my kickstand lifts up if the bike drags it forwards. the only way i could see it getting caught is rolling backwards.
but IMO that should be a habit like putting on your seatbelt in a car. so the kickstand switch is combined with the neutral sensor so that if the kickstand is down and you put it in gear it will die? does make the kickstand switch remove seem pointless. |

RE: Won't idle with kick stand down
interesting, the nuetral light is not working at all. I also have a wiring diagram here
I looked at what I think is the sensor, it looks like a plug that goes into the tranny block which has a green wire running from it. I didn't pull of the fairings and follow it cause I wanted to see what you guys would recommend. Do these go bad? I assume I need to change the oil again if I pull it out right?(I just did it about 200 miles ago)... Thanks |

if the neutral light isn't working then yeah the switch is most likely bad or the connections/wiring is. may not need to change the oil from doing that. but oil is cheaper than engine work.
