Attached are instructions to help you make a sidestand bypass switch to allow you to start the engine whilst on the sidestand but will kill the engine if you put it into gear.

You would have to post this the SAME DAY that I get my Evo bypass kit in the mail, wouldn't you!

Seriously, great write up!

I had troubles starting my 02-ST4s when I first got it. Ducati Seattle tracked the problem down to an aftermarket sidestand cutout switch the previous owner had installed. Removing the device removed the problem.
Moral of the story: if you are going to install a sidestand cutout switch, make sure you do it correctly or future problems could entail.
