tried pulling off both brake lever switches. it started....then it didn't. reconnected the switches, wouldn't start but got "chec" on the display. seems like everytime i cycle the key it does something different.
maybe one of you guys has defeated these switches? i'd like to do the same to the sidestand switch, too. I wonder how that will go...

the switch is normally closed. when installed on the bike, it's normally open. when the brake lever is pulled in, the switch closes. guess i better try a simple jumper on the female connectors.

well, that got me a "chec" on the display again with no start....

Put it back together and it's all good again.
tried doing it because it has died on me a couple of times while in a turn/moving traffic at idle. kinda disconcerting braking to restart the bike. and for the sidestand switch defeat, well, I'm living on the edge, you know, I ride a Burgman.

I'll look into this "safety coil relay" and try and figure it out, just for giggles

as it turns out, it's pretty easy to defeat the brake lever starter interlocks...pull the front clip off the scooter,and you'll see the relays zrx212 provided pics of...just jumper the yel/blkand yel/grn and you're good to go. of course, this information is for academic purposes only and you should never try to defeat any safety devices....

see, here's a pic of the academic exercise...now I better go put it back to stock.

I was barking up the wrong tree messing with the brake light switches. so much more efficient to just jumper the brake lock relay.

Info included on this post to consolidate this topic from another post.

where does the safety relay live?

can't find it's location in the manual. maybe it's safely tucked away....

I didn't reread everything in between, but back in post 3 you jumpered the connectors but got CHEK and still no start. So that must not be the problem?

that must have happened when i pulled the wires off the brake light switches, but when I reconnected them, it was fine.
