TESTING/REPLACEMENT
Sidestand Switch
See Figure 7-34. The sidestand switch is a simple spring
loaded plunger. The switch completes a path to ground for the
ignition relay when the sidestand is in the retracted position.
Test the switch as follows:
1. Unplug the 2-place sidestand switch connector [60].
2. Test the switch using an ohmmeter.
a. With sidestand down (switch open), the switch
should show ∞ ohms (infinite ohms).
b. With sidestand up (switch closed), the switch should
show 0 ohms or little resistance.
3. Replace the assembly with a new switch if necessary.
a. Remove sidestand switch from Sidestand by remov-
ing two bolts and nuts.
b. Apply Loctite 243 (blue) to threads of two bolts.
c. Install new sidestand switch with two bolts and nuts.
Tighten bolts to 30-36 in-lbs (3-4 Nm).
Clutch Switch
See Figure 7-35. The clutch switch attaches to the clutch con-
trol lever bracket. The switch completes a path to ground for
the ignition relay and the starter relay when the clutch is dis-
engaged.
Test the switch as follows:
1. Unplug the 2-place clutch switch connector [95].
2. Test the switch using an ohmmeter.
a. With clutch engaged (1) (switch open), the switch
should show ∞ ohms (infinite ohms).
b. With clutch disengaged (2) (switch closed), the
switch should show 0 ohms or little resistance.
3. Replace the assembly with a new switch if necessary.
a. Remove small Phillips screw.
b. Depress clutch lever and hold.
c. Detach switch by depressing switch trigger button
and pulling switch towards the end of the handlebar.
