Author Message   Firedude Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 05:16 pm:        Alright guys, need some help here. I am having problems with the neutral switch on my 99 X-1; as soon as I shift into gear, the bike dies. While I was troubleshooting, I found a switch that was hanging down around the gauge console (see pic). When I held it in, the problem seemed to go away (then again it is an intermittent problem, and could just be coincindence). Can I get some help from the peanut gallery?   Firedude Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 05:18 pm:          Bubabuell Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 05:31 pm:        Clutch? As in pull in the clutch to start the bike?   89rs1200 Posted on Saturday, June 24, 2006 - 05:56 pm:        There are 2 interlock switches. One on the clutch and one on the side stand. The side stand one closes when the stand is up. The connector is just inside the frame above the side stand. I have shorted it inside this connector to disable it. BOTH can cause your problem. Let's just call them "idiot protection". (There so that you don't ride off with the side stand down, nor start the bike with the clutch out.   Oldog Posted on Sunday, June 25, 2006 - 01:27 am:        FD that looks kinda like the clutch switch '89 has you right there, the stand switch has likely gone south, I replaced my switch I have done the stupid thing with the stand down,   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, June 25, 2006 - 02:14 am:        My kickstand idiot switch crapped out at about 35K. It has been replaced by a jumper ever since. HATE that idiot crap.   Henrik Posted on Sunday, June 25, 2006 - 11:54 am:        Firedude; that switch used to be screwed to your clutch lever. Find a screw that fits and fix the switch back in place and you're good to go. Henrik
