An alternative version of Solution #3 is to join those wires with a small switch that can be mounted in a hidden place behind the plastics. Just a simple low-fi security measure, but a great way to repurpose the kill switch circuit.

Great idea

Great tips! It is very similar to the DR650 solution to the kickstand switch removal. Great job Mate! Cheers!

Easy peasy.. Just got to try it myself now! Great video, thank you for sharing. I think #3 is the one for me, love a bit of tinkering on the bike :)

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback 👍

You're a life saver, mate! I just bought a 23 and couldn't figure out why it was dying every time I stood up. Researched it, figured out I'm pushing on tye kickstand, and now I know how to delete that circuit. Thanks again.

Awesome clip, very well explained. What are your pegs? I really like these. They do not seem too pointy and they are large.

This mod is a MUST!......My bike stalls out constantly when jumping Logs or even bumping obstacles! It's a real kick to your confidence as a New rider, and you don't realize it's the Bike, not your skill......and it's very dangerous, true.

Good video mate definitely a dangerous thing on a dirt bike that goes off road, and also when they fail like it did on my dr350 back in the day

Yeah if it fails you will be pushing it lol.

I quite like the kill switch, I have the same system in both my Dr and my GS, coming to a stop and being able to hop off the bike in one motion is so convenient, if I ever decide to hop over logs and big rocks I would take them off

Great video Steve!

It's much better without it.

make sure to keep all the parts. don't misplace them. you might need them to put it all back together when getting a road worthy.

hey do you reckon buying the cape york version from the normal one ? its 700 dollar expensive btw. or else i can buy the normal version and the after market parts seperately ??

I have a 3 wire connection to my kickstand switch. A pink, green, and black to the controller. A black, red, and yellow to the switch. Which wire do I use to “Jump”, to bypass the switch?

i cut solder and heatshrink, but i do it shorter then use a pick to de-pin one wire from the connector then slide a section of the protective tubing from the sidestand kill switch wire on then plug the pin back into the connector. the loop is short and the wires are protected.

Thanks Michael thats great advice.

Do you have the factory shift lever? If not which brand do you suggest or Hack? I find enduro boots are difficult to get the toe under.

You can also purchase a kick stand switch eliminator for $20 from eBay. Just unplug side stand switch and plug in the eliminator. That way no cutting required and easily put back to original if needed for road worthy etc. it’s permanent and easy and $20 not worth cutting or soldering wires or having zip ties that will eventually fail.

The whole kickstand switch is only $14, could also just do like he did in the video and buy another to save a few $$
