Hello again, as part of my investigating why my car is not sparking I wondered if the cut outs for the stand and the neutral stop the engine firing or
actually stop the starter turning? Reason I ask is the starter is turning but the engine does not fire, and as part of my investigating the other day
have I dislodged a wire????
So, questions are:
1. Do the stand and neutral cut outs stop the starter working or stop the coils sparking?
2. How do you bypass them (if I have manged to dilslodge a wire?)?
Thanks
Lee

i know on my R1 that when my side stand switch was faulty the engine would not turn over.
on every bike I've owned neither the starter or the plugs work when the side stand is down, or its in gear.
I do not specifically for the 99 r1, but if you consider that the starter motor is enough to make the bike lurch forward if in gear, I;d have to
assume it is the same.
- have you considered your coil pack may be faulty? They do fail sometimes.
Then again it might be a goosed ECU.
Do you know anyone with the same engine you can do some swappsies with to test on your car?
