ATLANTIC 125 - 200
SIDE STAND SWITCH TEST
Ensure that there is no obstruction to side stand (1) rotation.
Check for the following:
•
Inspect the springs (2) for any sign of damage, wear,
rust or weakening.
•
The side stand should rotate freely. Grease the joint if
needed, see 2.2.1.
The side stand (1) is fitted with a safety switch (3) that
inhibits ignition or shuts down engine operation whenever
the side stand (1) is down.
To test safety switch (3) operation:
•
Sit astride the vehicle.
•
Raise the side stand (1).
•
Start the engine.
•
With the throttle twistgrip released and the engine
idling, lower the side stand (1). This should cause the
safety switch (3) to cut in.
This is what should happen next:
- the engine should stop;
- the side stand light " " on the dashboard should light
up.
NOTE When this is not the case, replace the switch (3).
