Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Owners Manual: Side stand
An interlock switch is provided to cut off the ignition circuit when the side stand is down and the transmission is in any gear other than neutral.
The side stand/ignition interlock switch works as follows:
- if the side stand is down and the transmission is in gear, the engine can not be started.
- if the engine is running and the transmission is shifted into gear with the side stand down, the engine will stop running.
- if the engine is running and the side stand is put down with the transmission in gear, the engine will stop running.
