  • Bike will not start in neutral with kickstand down

    I have a 1989 GSX 600 F Katana and as the title says, I cannot get it to start with the kickstand down. I have already replaced the neutral sensor on the side of the transmission next to the front sprocket. And I also have a new kickstand sensor, although I don't know why it would be that. My neutral light doesn't come on, however with it being an older bike, the light could just be burnt out. Any ideas? Thanks ahead!

    If the neutral light isn't coming on and your having the issues described, then it's more likely you have a failure in the system somewhere that is triggering the cut out on the kickstand safety switch.

    I'd trace down the circuit, with a tester. It's cheaper than just buying parts.

    Wiring diagram is avail on website for download for free.

      So after tracking some wires today, I found that the single wire coming from the neutral switch goes to this pigtail, and I cannot seem to find on the bike or on the internet, where it is supposed to plug in, any ideas?

      It won't let me paste the link from mobile, I'll upload as soon as I can

        Pretty sure the other end that it plugs too will be in a bundle of plugs, covered by a plastic "boot"... I'd check there first.
