Casper Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I know someone that has done this. lmaoI'm guilty of it.

Coyote Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Usually it's the kill switch after a cleaning...Or trying to turn off my turn signal, only to realize I've been hitting the horn button. Or vise versa.I always do this after switching between bikes with the horn/signal cancel buttons reversed...Followed by an awkward wave to a neighbor, pedestrian, or car I just pulled out behind.

buildit Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I thought the only bike that had these issues were BMW's with the dam right and left turn switches on the right and left sides of the bar. For those of you having this issue you might consider getting a kick start bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 some of the kawasaki's have a start switch on the left I have seen people trying to use. It's just funny that it's for the lap timer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I've done that and also forgot to switch the kill switch back on a few times as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 How about the old kick stand down and in gear bit...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I tried to ride away 5 times with my kickstand down before I figured out the problem... At first (and second, third, and fourth tries) I figured I just wasn't giving it enough gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I tried to ride away 5 times with my kickstand down before I figured out the problem... At first (and second, third, and fourth tries) I figured I just wasn't giving it enough gas on mine, soon as you put it in gear it would die if the kickstand was down...didnt even have to try and move lol...i think two or three times i did that, clutch in, kick it into gear, dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildit Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I disabled the clutch and kick stand safety on my KLR. Not because I kept forgetting but because the magic button better work if you stall on the side of a hill. Plus sometimes you want the kick down with the rear wheel spinning, especially if the rear is jammed with mud that needs slung off on a tight woods trail.

Likwid Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 roflmao, I noticed it right away.. "is the start on the other side?"Also.. I've never missed the start button, however, I have forgotten where my horn is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He starts pulling out of the spot with his kickstand down, apparently he couldn't hear me over his life saving pipes as when he went to turn it looked like he about shit himself when the kickstand opposed his left hand turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
