Hello, I have relied on this forum during my build over the past six months and just joined. My 1982 xs650 will start in neutral, but if I let it warm up and change into first or second, the engine cuts off immediately. It feels like a side stand switch cutoff, but I've looked back through my photos (I have a lot) and spare parts and I don't believe I ever had a side stand switch.
I rewired the bike with a motogadget m-unit and my own loom, and I have been told by a reliable source (I believe) that my wiring diagram looks correct, but that was before I had this issue.
Looking on the forum, it looks like '82 models had a side stand switch. If I don't have one (or if I should have one), are there wires I can jump to bypass this issue? Is there something else that could be the problem? Thanks in advance for any answers.
