Hi guys,

In an emergency situation on the highway, how do I disable the site stand sensor and get the engine started?

In advance I thank you

Perhaps start by telling us what bike!

Thank you Borgia.

I remembered reading in some GS911 document that it would be possible to disable the sidestand sensor.

Is it possible to disable the side stand switch with the GS-911 and avoid shorting the wires?

On other models GS911 cannot disable side stand as there is no comms or provision in ECU firmware to do so

Rather than shorting wires I looked at the wiring & the socket for the side stand switch then purchased a socket to plug into the wiring harness & put wire loops in the socket so it plugged in not the side stand, that enabled swapping from side stand connected to the disable socket connected, the part No's for sockets are normally moulded into the sockets & available at low cost through the car spares division

Smart move.  Someone cut the switch wires on my '21 R18 Salvage project.  I spliced them back together, but I am still getting an occasional fault code and have to drag out the GS-911 to read and clear it. The working space was so tight, it was difficult to get 3 good splices.

Hi Geometry Dash (https://geometrydashfullversion.io/) guys,

In an emergency situation on the highway, how do I disable the site stand sensor and get the engine started?

In advance I thank you

In an emergency, to bypass the side stand sensor: locate the sensor near the stand, follow its wire to the connector, unplug it, and bridge the two terminals on the bike’s side (not the sensor) with a wire or paperclip. This tricks the bike into thinking the stand is up. Only use temporarily and fix properly ASAP.

The side stand switch on many models switches where an earth is provided from which means all 3 wires from the switch need to be connected together, best to check wiring diagrams when disabling the switch
