Hi All,
I have a ‘96 1000F Hurricane. Sometimes it won’t turn over. When this happens I flip the side stand up and down while holding the start button and it will start. But it has been getting less effective and yesterday it wouldn’t start at all. I can push start it without a problem. The dash light works like normal (orange when down, off when up). And if I put it into gear with the side stand down, it cuts off like it should.

Any suggestions?

thanks in advance

 

Well, since the Side Stand Indicator Bulb is turning on/off as your move your Side Stand up/down, that means that the ground side of the Side Stand Switch is functioning and that the issue lies with the ignition side of the circuit. The Green/White wire that comes from the Side Stand Switch goes to the Ignition Control Module. If you disconnect the Positive terminal of the battery, and then unplug the connector from the Ignition Control Module, you should be able to measure continuity from the Green/White wire of that connector to frame ground someplace, or even the Negative terminal of the battery. You should read this while the Side Stand is in the UP position. If you don't, then you have an open connection, most likely at the 3 Pin connector of the Side Stand Switch.

Thank you very much! After about 3 hours of thinking the multimeter was broken, your help was wrong and thinking I’ve been cursed (Yosemite Sam in full effect), I figured out the ignition control module was loose/not fully plugged in. No tools or equipment required. Pushed in and that’s it. Thanks again.
