Just had a weird one. Flat in 5th, shut off to break and the engine stops dead. Nope I didn't hit the kill switch, nope it didn't seize or even nip up. What happened was the sidestand light came on (which it did do previously without anything happening), and no the side stand was still retracted.

So my questions are
Should the sidestand switch cut the ignition when the bike is in gear (I suspect it does)
If the switch is faulty, can it be faulty in 2 ways,
the side stand retracts, leaves the warning light on, but doesn't cut the ignition or
the side stand retracts, the warning light goes on/off and it does cut the ignition
Is there a bypass option or does anyone have a working sidestand switch ?

Cheers

Phil M
