Engine Stopping Due To Sidestand Operation - Yamaha Star XVS950A 2009 Service Manual

ENGINE STOPPING DUE TO SIDESTAND OPERATION

When the engine is running and the transmission is in gear, the engine will stop if the sidestand is
moved down. This is because the electric current from the ignition coils does not flow to the ECU
when both the neutral switch and sidestand switch are set to "OFF", thereby preventing the spark
plugs from producing a spark. However, the engine continues to run under the following conditions:
• The transmission is in gear (the neutral switch is open) and the sidestand is up (the sidestand
switch is closed).
• The transmission is in neutral (the neutral switch is closed) and the sidestand is down (the side-
stand switch is open).
