Something I've done far too often is set off with the side stand still down :oops:

luckily it hasn't caused me to crash but it easily could do. Now I kick it up as soon as I get on, and double check before moving off!

 

Does your clutch or side stand switch not work?

 

It doesn't, I was surprised it wasn't picked up in its recent M.O.T. actually!

 


Its not something that is checked on an mot


I would take a look to see why it's not working as it could save you a little tumble

I should, I really should!


Apologies for :offtopic:

Yeah it should kill the bike Liveware, Ive embarrassingly kicked it into gear with the side stand down and it just cuts the bike out.

Me too.

Why is it we only do this when there are other bikers around though :lol:

 

I do this all the time these days… and an ever increasing number of times get annoyed with why my bike isn't starting, mess around with it, shout at it, then realise the kill switch is engaged. :oops:
