PROBLEM
One of two bolts holding the side stand onto my KTM Duke 390 came loose.
The side stand rotated, pulling on the side stand sensor wires.
The wires frayed and came apart.
The electronics in the motorcycle now read "Side Stand Down" permanently, even when the side stand was up.
Therefore the bike would not go into first gear and I could not ride it.
SOLUTION
1. Attempted to place a 1000 ohm resistor across 2 of the 3 wires (pink and yellow) to simulate a 'side stand down' scenario. Resistor connected, but failed to change reading.
2. Purchased a side stand sensor bypass device from Dhaval Mahidharia. Installed within minutes and instant success. Motorcycle now reads "Side Stand up" in all side stand orientations.
The device plugged directly into the wiring already in the guts of the bike. Easy access, easy removal. I cannot recommend this product enough.
