RE: Side-stand disconect

["John Dancoe" <jdan@xxxxxxxx>]

Doug,

I'm not an electrical engineer, but I don't think relays are sensitive to
polarity.

Early on, when a pebble in the switch disabled my ignition, I decided to
remove it and utilize the circuit for a hidden ignition-disable switch. Works
great for that purpose!

My dad's old XS750 Yamaha had a neat feature, I don't know if it was stock, or
if he or a previous owner came up with it:

A piece of stiff rubber was attached to the stand such that if you rode off
with the stand down, then leaned to the left, the rubber would catch on the
pavement and flip the stand up before the metal hit.

A brilliant design: elegant, inexpensive, robust, and foolproof.

I may do the same for my RS one of these days.

John D
