Hi I have an 1100GK(82), the kickstand engine cut out switch has never worked the switch checks out with a continuity check, i tried connecting to the existing wires but didn't work, in the clymer manual the gw and bw wires go to a diode,where is this diode located please anybody and how does the cicuit work as i recall when the kickstand is down the switch is in closed circuit,and visa versa.and could it be wired to the handlebar kill switch?

Welcome, Lenny!
I don't think that those of us "across the pond" will be much help, because on my '83 "G" the kickstand is only connected to a warning light on the "dash." I'm pretty sure that NONE of the GS's had actual cutout switches, which is unfortunate, because that slick idea would have saved two friends of ours from an unnecessary hospital visit which resulted from a kickstand inadvertently left down.
Both are 100% now, but an automatic cutout sure would've "done the trick" when they needed it!
Good luck with it and again, welcome to the forum!

Hi GK,
Must be an only GK1100 model as the ES/EZ don't have one either, only a light.
On the ES/EZ its under the tank, a rectangular block about 20mmx150mmx80mm and is rubber mounted, with about 20 odd wires going into it. If you look just about where the fuel tap is you'll find it.
Costs about £40.

thanks guys
perhaps i was mistaken assuming it was a cut out switch, some body may have changed the instruments because there arn't any other spare lights out, i'll look into addding a warning light.Comment

For what it's worth, my '83 1100GL doesn't cut out with the kickstand down, either. The switch just turns on the idiot light.Comment
