The most common issue with the side stand switch is the switch itself....a simple continuity test on the switch leg will identify any side stand switch problem.

Maverick lives in Augusta Georgia.

You've done some nice work on this bike Mav...I hope she goes to a good home.

Cheers

Fred,

Thanks so much for the feedback and photos! Your FJ looks great! I keep flip-flopping on which size to initially go with but, leaning toward the Junior Flash 30s. Decisions, decisions!

I'm sorry but i've lost the diode that i took out of the FJ loom but here's some info and the diode universal symbol > https://www.pcbasic.com/blog/diode_symbol.html
If you look in the Haynes Book of Lies at the wiring diagram then the symbol is there in the loom, just look for the symbol, but that is only on 1986 and 87 models. That's why i call it the Haynes Book of Lies as it could have been omitted regarding later models.
But looking at the wiring diagram could you bike have a problem with the side stand relay or is that earlier models only?

From what i remember there is a diode in the wiring loom. It's hard to locate without actually cutting open the loom casing. It's somewhere between the headstock and fuses. Sorry i can't be more helpful. I'll see if i can find the one i replaced and post a picture.

This event needs more Canadian content!

Donna and I will be there May 27-June 3. Really looking forward to this! It's been far too long since we've seen y'all!
We will be trailering our bikes. We both have different bikes since our last rally. FJ-09 and MT-07

Great plan Garth! I'm in for a long sleeve black shirt in large.
