Not sure that is kinda crazy, but the real question is why do you have a Suzuki name on a Honda forum site? What are you trying to pull? Na I am just messing with you. The sensor on the back of the kick stand that tells if it is up or down make sure that is hook up correctly.

That is supposed to happen if you have the kickstand down and you put it in gear. You definately have something messed up with your wiring. Start tracing your wires (I'd start with the kickstand switch). Just see where they go and if they have been spliced into for anything.

Hope you get it figured out. Have you been able to ride it in the past or did you just get the bike?

Hmmmm, maybe I would check to see if someone cut and spliced to bypassa badsidestand switch and it has a bare wire grounding out but, for the switch to be interfearing with the turn signal makes me think you have bare wires touching some where on the wiring harness.

Your going to have to pull off your left side panels, seat and tank and start an inspection of your wiring harness.

Somewhere you have frayed or broken wires or a ****ty repair jobthat has failed andneed attention!

Good Luck!

While your at it, clean each electrical connection with contact cleaner and fill each electrical plug / socket with die electric grease to waterproof the connections and to remove and eliminate any corrosion from oxidation.
