My Indian name is "Pants On Fire"
I just arrived home from a 2 day 740 mile trip. Unloaded my luggage, relaxed for awhile & decided that my bike needed to go to it's home for some well deserved sleep (I need some, too).
I go open the door to it's sleeping quarters, walk back to her, insert key, turn on, put side stand up, turn on kill switch & try to fire her up. No start... Error code 19 rears it's ugly head!
I get frustrated after turning off the key & trying again to no avail.
Put her up on the center stand & resign myself to the fact that my bike is going to spend the night outdoors in my driveway.
After a minute of thought I decided to go in the house & break out my trusty manual to find out what the error code is referring to. It appears to be an open circuit detected within the sidestand switch.
I go back outside, put the stand up, flip it down & then back up. The bike fired right up. Damn! sure glad that this didn't happen during my trip! I would've been PISSED!
My question... is this something that I can check myself? If so, what exactly am I looking for? Or should I just take it to the dealer & try to lean on my YES.
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks Peanut Gallery!
