Intermittent fault - side stand switch

<< < (2/2)

Jughead:
FWIW, the BMW sidestand switch and clutch switches are completely different, and are not interchangeable.

This is what the sidestand switch looks like.  It is NOT a microswitch!



I would try bridging out the sidestand switch to see whether the issue persists.  If it does, then you have a fault elsewhere in the harness.  If the issue is resolved, you then have a choice to either just leave the switch bridged out (which creates a bit of a safety issue) or to replace it with a new one.

You can bridge it out by unplugging it and then shorting out these two pins on the harness side of the connector.

Thank Jughead.  I just assumed the kickstand switch would be the same microswitch.  It is goo to know I can bypass it when it goes out.Awesomesauce.  Can I pick your brain on a different issue please?  When I hit a pothole I get an "Adaptive Lighting" fault on my display. Looks like a spring symbo.  l https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.k1600forum.com%2Fthreads%2Ffault-message.108057%2F&psig=AOvVaw1ii_8BYgtQv1sR7GBrHKa9&ust=1684497976343000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CA0QjRxqFwoTCOj4mJPq_v4CFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD   I replaced the sensor located between the front wheel and the steering column.  It got better but still pops up on rough roads.

It would appear that this is another typical AI response from Victorpatrick, just like all his others.
