    After a bit of advise guys.

    I'm wanting to remove the left hand switch gear on my 2011 Blade track bike. Is there a resistor kit I need to plug in to the loom so the bike will start once the switch gear has been removed?

    Also, is there a similar thing for the side stand switch?

    :)

    Yesterday I had to plug the side stand and the left hand switch gear back in to start the bike. Won't start with just the side stand plugged in. It's stummped me tbh. With my S1000 I had a resistor kit that had to be plugged in to various open connectors to fool the ECU in to thinking everything was connected..

    Every blade I've built I just remove the left side lights switch completely and if removing the stand, just shorted out the two wire connector, but if you leave the stand switch plugged in make sure the switched is in the closed circuit position (stand up).

    Cheers guys

    Iv found the problem............ Wait for it................ I'm a massive d**k head.............. Bike was in gear............ THATS why it didn't want to start lol. Put bike in to netural, removed left hand switch gear and she fired up straight away lol

    For the side stand switch, I cut the cable off the side stand leavening approx 1inch of cable and the connector. Twisted & soldered the cables together then heat/shrink wrapped both cables. Plugged back in to the loom. Works a treat!!


    Happy days
