So I am no mechanic, but after owning my 848 for only a month (2012 plate only 3500k on clock), I went to take the bike to work today and despite the engine starting no problem, when I dropped it into first gear and the engine cut out???? Tried umpteen times and no joy! I took it for a decent run 2 days previously with no problems. Am I missing something obvious here???
Sounds like it, my first thought, if it's the same as the 999, disconnect the switch and short the 2 loom side wires together to eliminate, did this on my track bike ( as no side stand) but I'm sure a sage will be along Shortly with a more elegant solution
Aww brilliant! Solved the problem! I haven’t even read the handbook yet, so didn’t even know it had this function!!! Thanks again
Appreciate the solution, however I won’t be tinkering about with any wires… I’ll leave that to the mechanics!!
We've all done it, I've been stupid enough to ride off with the side stand down, ( before the days of side stand switches)
