22 posts. There was a thread similar to this where the problem was fixed by replacing the fuel injection relay.

Edit: But this is a very interesting side stand thread, I wouldn't have thought that topic would be. It's probably about here where someone might chip in with "you guys crack me up"

But it ain't the relay... keep goin' gents!

guzzi decided that even with the side stand locked the bike could still roll forwards or backwards (must have been a steep hill) so the side stand also put the rear brake on , good idea .

That was only the IdroConvert because of the slush bucket (hydraulic drive).

i did wonder what it was off , i had a T3 or most of which i built a 3 wheeler out of , the rear calliper came with the bike with the extra cable operation parts but not fitted , it worked well but the 3 wheeler was a death trap JZR , looked and sounded great

When the bike was parked on the stand, the rubber was deflected so the bike's weight was supported on the end of the side stand.  If you tried to ride off without raising the stand, the first time the bike was leaned a little to the left the rubber hit the ground and flipped the stand up. 

I cut it off of my bikes, and somehow never had a problem.

i have the same on my gold wing now , it also has a ware limit marked part way up , again hits the road to easy

Resurrected this because I never did find the solution  

Actually, I began to suspect I'd made a booboo somewhere in the wiring loom. Frustratingly, no amount of fault-finding would pin the problem down so I left it to fester for a few weeks while I earned some money using my backside to polish the chair in my office. I decided to start again with a second loom, but this time I'd build just enough to connect up the parts needed to actually start the engine.
Needless to say, this afternoon it fired up on the first touch of the button and purred away very contentedly.
