Kickstand Switch

Post by Budman »

I have a friend about a thousand miles from home and she is having trouble with her kickstand cut off switch. Anyone have an issue with this in the past. Hers is a 2012 RT Low. Im calling the dealer in Boise Idaho in the morning to see if he can help or has parts.

I had a recall on my 800gs for the kickstand switch last year.
No idea what the problem was but it was fixed under warranty.
It may be related.
I was born with nothing and unfortunately I still have most of it left.

They can suffer from corrosion. Would suggest a good soaking in something like WD40 .  If that doesn't work it needs replacing.

I have a 2014 1200GS that there was a recall on that part a couple years ago, if it got wet, possible engine quitting.
