Hi Paul, Jumper or bypass the side stand switch. I'd remove it all together and jumper the connection or short the wires but that's just me. Then try to duplicate the symptoms. There isn't an electrical sensor or signal that tells you what gear you are in. A false neutral is possible but an electrical anomaly there is unlikely. I'd by pass the side stand switch first and then go from there. LaterZ Dash Who really shouldn't be giving electrical advice eh?
