Side stand switch supply

For anyone frustrated with the price and availability of the side stand switch, I have some good news. The switch for the GSXR1000 is the same switch, with shorter leads. They can be found on eBay for under $10. just reuse your wires and splice them together, green wire to green wire. Polarity does matter, as there is a diode inside the switch, so a simple continuity test will not work to diagnose a bad switch.

Thanks for the tip. When I was riding my bike home from where I bought it, I stopped at a rest area. It kept stalling when I would let out the clutch in 1st gear and I thought, "Oh no! I bought a dud!" 🤦‍♂️ After 10 minutes I realized there is a fancy switch that won't let you drive off with the kickstand down! :ROFLMAO:

Good catch, OP.

This should apply for 2004-2011 DL650 as well. Same part number for the side stand switch of both DL650 and DL1000 2004 models (SWITCH ASSY, SIDE STAND 37840-06G00). Probably the same up to 2011 DL650 at least, though I didn't dig that far.

That's helpful because I may need a replacement side stand switch for my 2004 DL650. Shortly before a road trip, I found that the side stand switch on my 2004 DL650 does nothing, despite lookind and feeling fine mechanically. I have not yet figured out whether it was deliberately bypassed by the previous owner, or has failed unsafe.

Great tip. Just ordered a used GSXR 2009-2014 side stand switch for my 2004 DL650.

Wire length is no issue, I can splice the "new" switch to the existing plug run. Old switch for reference:
