There was a sidestand safety switch on the '82-'83 models. It acted upon a relay which killed the ignition when activated. There were two "triggers" for the relay, the sidestand switch and the signal from the neutral light. One or the other had to be in effect or the relay would kill the ignition. If you just removed the sidestand switch, the bike would only run in neutral and die when put in gear. You must remove the sidestand switch AND the relay. No jumper wires are needed, just remove both itemine is a 78
