It's mean to kill the bike if the sidestand is down and you put the bike in gear. If you put it back in neutral and it starts then that's where you need to look first. If you get the sidestand working and then it runs once started and put in gear but won't start with it already in gear and the clutch pulled in then the clutch switch is bad (located on the bottom of the master cylinder). You may have both issues so tackle each one separately starting with the sidestand. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the looks of the microfiche (http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/parts/home.aspx) it looks like you have the switch with it's two wires going into an extension harness (all routed forward) which in turn plugs in to the main harness. If you can find the main harness connection point you can jumped the terminals to bypass the switch for now. Then you can order the part you need to fix it and get it back to normal.

one2dmax Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I forgot to mention. I may have spare parts for that bike laying around too. I have two FZ600 chassis's in various condition. I won't be the cheapest you can find but won't misrepresent anything either. Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
