Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and to ducatis so forgive my question if it's been discussed before! I'm looking for a side stand switch and have found three of them!My problem is they are all look different in lenght the number of connectores etc!How come if they do the same job are different?I'm useless with electronics and wouldn't even attempt to do anything unless i know what i amdoing so now just thrying to do my homework! Here are the 3 bypassis! 1. Electraeon Sidestand Bypass for Ducati 748 996 998 | eBay 2. TPO Kickstand Switch Bypass Kit Ducati Sportclassic Paul Smart 1000 Le 748 998 | eBay 3.DUCATI SIDE STAND SAFETY SWITCH NEW 748 996 998 749 999 MONSTER 53910231A | eBay Could you guys tell me which one i should go for?To me they all sound good! Thanks, Peter
The first two are acually side-stand bypass harnesses that allow you to start the bike with the sidestand down on some models. The third one is the actual side-stand switch.
No such thing as a silly question. That's why these forums exist, to help one another. Enjoy the bike!
Looks exactly the same as an Aprilia RSV sidestand switch to me, which in turn is exactly the same as a Honda cbr600's...
Hi guys! Yes i was looking for to eliminate the side stand switch!I sent JHP parts an email and they are gonna make me one for 10 quid+vat and postage!
you can eliminate the side stand switch by joining the 2 wires together that go to and from the switch, sounds easier than giving JHP £10
Is there any need to bypass the switch these days? I know sidestand switches used to be a cause for concern, but that was decades ago, they are far more reliable items these days.
theres no doubt it is a simple fix for connecting two wires together but it does look nicer using a proper connector, although you then really need the proper amp crimp tool....
Plus you need to know what you are doing and i have never even seen how it's done!I'm more then happy paying JHP some money then me getting the tools or screwing it up! It's a 2002 996 and nobody ever put a bypass on her and i would like to start up without sitting on her! Don'tknow why ducati didn't think of that solution!
