I was ridding home from work and made a couple stops. Didn't have no problems starting back up. But on my last stop it wouldn't even turn over! I can hear the fuel pump kick in but when u hit the start button it just click. Tried putting it in neutral and the green light comes on but when u try start it again it goes off and you have to click the kickstand buttom a couple times to get the light to come back on! I checked the battery and its good. What could it be?

Ok still wont start!!

Does anybody know what could be the cause of this?

Is it the kickstand switch since the neutral light will not light up or even stay on after you play with the switch and it turns green and soons as you try to turn it over it goes off again?

Is thier anyway to check to see if thats the problem or even bypass it!?

Should be able to bypass it,but not advised to leave it that way. Nothing like bike lunging forward from you trying to start it in gear and having it topple over cause of it. But yeah is good way to rule out that is the problem.

sounds like you have a weak battery, give it a boost and see if that works, check your ground connection.
