does an XB9R have a kick stand sensor or something? I rode my bike around town all day and when I got home I put the bike in neutral, put the kick stand down, opened the gate, remounted the bike, dropped it into 1st gear and as I went to take off the bike stalled when ever I let the clutch out, even if I twisted the throttle more and more each time. The lights would blank out and then a split second later it would die. I pushed the bike up my drive way (33 degree angle....fun stuff lemme tell you) When i went to put the kickstand down i noticed it already was. Is there a safety switch/sensor on there or something? | ||

Yes. I believe they discontinued it, but I don't know what year. I know mine doesn't have one. I ride off with my kick stand dragging way too much. | ||

My 2003 has the kickstand safety switch. It will stall if you try to ride with the sidestand down. Your 2003 has one also. | ||

FBDO - I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's ever done that.  | ||

My 2005 doesn't have this I don't think. I can ride it with the stand down(not on purpose). But there is a switch on the clutch, so I'm not sure what it's for. Maybe my bike does have the stand sensor but it's broken? | ||

Ferocity - Later XBs have an automatically retracting sidestand. I know the 06s do, sounds like the 05s as well. If you ride with the stand down, and take a left turn, it will pop back up. | ||

04 and later have the pop up stand. They only used the sidestand switch in 03. |
