this is what i did found it by doing a search of old post

strip the insulation from a piece of twincore mains cable .

cut a length of bare copper wire about 1" long

take the sidestand switch connector apart - follow it up fom the sidestand.

poke the bare ends into each female connector so there is a 'u' shape sticking out. bend it over to allow the connector to go back together- wind tape around the bare wire.

re-assemble the connector

this effectively bypasses the switch and holds the wire in place

I bypassed mine cos off road it was a pain having the motor cut out everytime I got to a gate and put it on the side stand. Just follow the wire up and bridge the connector then tape it up.
