Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Owners Manual: Side standngnition interlock switch
Check the side stand/ignition interlock system for proper operation as follows:
- Sit on the motorcycle in the normal riding position, with the side stand up.
- Shift into first gear, hold the clutch in, and start the engine.
- While continuing to hold the clutch in, move the side stand to the down position.
If the engine stops running when the side stand is moved to the down position, then the side stand/ignition interlock system is working properly. If the engine continues to run with the side stand down and the transmission in gear, then the side stand/ignition interlock switch is not working properly. Have your motorcycle inspected by an authorized suzuki dealer or a qualified service mechanic.
 Warning
This may interfere with rider control during a left turn. Check the side stand/ignition interlock system for proper operation before riding. Check that the side stand is returned to its full up position before starting off. |
