Posted May 10, 200717 yr My 650 maxim starts great, but when I shift into first gear, it kills the engine. it does this until the engine is warmed up a bit and the rpms high. I know the kickstand has a kill switch that kills the engine if the kick stand goes down with the bike in gear.....could it be connected or related to that or another type of kill switch? Any help is appreciated.
May 10, 200717 yr Moderator 1st off...... to the forum Mike An easy fix is to bypass that kill switch @ the sidestand...... Could be just a dodgy switch causing you grief? Just unplug it & jumper the 2 wires together.......see if that possibly cures your prob.
