I'd think twice about dissconnecting the kickstand switch... 3 weeks ago I was in custer state park talkin to a guy at a scenic overlook, as he pulled away you could hear the scrape of the kickstand that he forgot to put up and over the side he went... luckily he got hung up about ten feet down and we were able to drag his bike back up but it could have been real ugly...I'll bet that for the rest of his life his freinds will give him crap everytime he starts his bike
