Anyone know something about disabling the engine kill when the kickstand is down? It won't stay on in neutral which is something really useful I'd like it be able to do.

Now, who would know how to disable that doggone switch?  Hmmmmm.   Grin

Do you just want to disable it temporarily while you work (just hold the plunger down with a zip tie to do that),  or permanently (solder the leads together or I think I remember someone offering a plug that replaces the wiring from the harness to the switch that shorts the circuit where the switch is supposed to be).

Glad you got things sorted!

Looks like their's a switch that gets depressed when the kickstand is down, meaning it'd be pretty pointless to depress it with a zip tie. They asked me if I wanted it disabled at PJ's like it was no big thing...

I think I recall buying a kit from Monster Parts that included a plug and the requisite leads so that the neutral light still worked. This is for the '01 M900. Here in the Northeast, in the cooler weather, it's a convenience to let the bike warm up while it's on the side stand rather than sit on it with the stand up.

I was thinking about getting Pirelli Diablo tires when I had to replace my tires a bit ago. Heard nothing but good stuff about them. I'm sure the Supersport tires are way different than the standard Diablo tires, but whatever, wanted to say something.  cheeky

You ought to see what kind of deal Steve at MotoAuthority will offer you on whatever tires you want.  He's been giving REALLY good prices for tires, lately, and you get to support a local business!   waytogo

After I had them install my last wet of tires, Steve said he would beat any price for tires, internet or otherwise.  Thought you might like to know.

BTW I really like my diablo angels.  I needed the mileage, but they have been very sticky too.

Steve sells that same Pirelli for $180 for the pair. I just ordered a pair of Michelin Pilot Powers for $193, shipped free from Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. I am excited about the new rubber.

I blindly throw money at anything Steve mentions.  Good thing he hasn't mentioned hookers and drugs to me...
