How do I defeat the kickstand switch on a 2003 xb? Can I? I want the new 2007 kickstand but I have to defeat the switch, no where to mount it on the new kickstand. |

Either disconnect it, or just connect it to ground. one or the other should work |

Cut the wires and tie them together, solder and seal them really good! If you dont the bike wont go anywhere. |

I did what New12r suggested but I did it on the kickstand side of the connector. That way, should you ever decide to reattach the kill switch, all you have to do is plug a new one in. Keith |

they dumped them after 2003. if my 05 had one, it would've been the first mod. i fire the bike up on the kickstand, zip up the jacket, tie down the brain bucket and slip on the gloves. bike has been warming up the whole time, it's now time to ride. wow, after reading that i realize how much i need a ride! |

i think it's a good idea to leave it functional. i look dumb when it stalls, but i'd look dumber if i was eatin' pavement |
