Side Stand Switch Replacement

Post by navybloke »

Help! Forza 350 won’t start, although battery is fine and everything lights up nicely. Traced to the side stand sensor - AA chap wiggled it, it started once then died again.

After a flatbed ride home, the 350 is now in pieces - I’ve taken off enough body panels (most of them!) to get to the side stand and wiring. I can’t get it going; I’ve tried the sensor off the stand in the ‘up’ position and simply splicing the two wires - no joy either way. The wire disappears into a wiring loom that is a mass of electrical tape. It doesn’t look as simple as ‘unplug one sensor, plug in a new one’.

Can anyone give any advice as to how to replace the whole side stand sensor unit? I’ve searched for online workshop manuals with no success.

Thanks in advance any help from someone more mechanically minded than me!
