. The engine will not start if the rider presses

the starter button with the transmission in gear and the jiffy
stand down. The message "SidE StAnd" (1) will scroll across
the odometer display.

Raising the jiffy stand (or putting the transmission in neutral)
will permit the engine to run and clear the message.

Jiffy Stand Down: Engine Starts and Stalls

When the jiffy stand is down, the engine starts and runs if the
ECM receives a signal from the neutral switch indicating the
transmission is in neutral or a signal from the clutch switch
indicating the clutch is engaged. The engine will continue to
run after disengaging the clutch and shifting into gear. However
with the jiffy stand still down, the engine will stall as the clutch
is engaged.

Jiffy Stand Drops

If the jiffy stand drops out of the retracted position at speeds
greater than 10 mph (15 km/h):

•

The engine will continue to run.

•

The warning indicators will flash twice.

•

"SidE StAnd" will scroll across the odometer display.

•

The message will remain until the jiffy stand is in the
retracted position.

Press the reset switch (2) once while the engine is running to
clear the "SidE StAnd" message.

OIL PRESSURE SWITCH

GENERAL

The oil pressure signal lamp switch is a pressure-actuated
diaphragm-type switch. When oil pressure is low, spring tension
holds the switch contacts closed. This completes the signal
lamp circuit causing the indicator lamp to illuminate.

See

Figure 6-131

. The oil pressure switch is located under the

oil filter mount at the front of the engine crankcase.

NOTE

This part cannot be repaired. Replace upon failure.
