OK, maybe it's just me, but the switch that shuts off the engine on my 2021 GTS Racing Sixties is a real pain in the kickstand.

I wanted to keep the side stand but get ride of the switch.

With about 20 minutes work and a $0.05 connecter it was done. No more worries, no more frustration.

It's also so easy. the wiring connecter is in the battery compartment on the left side. All you need to do is cut the wire from the connector to the side stand about an inch from the connecter - just to make everything easier. Then I use the connector in the image (but yo can use anything you what/have on hand) and connect the two wires together.

That's it - you can then remove the two screws holding the switch to the side stand and Bob's Your Uncle!
Side Stand switch delete made so darn easy
