Why does my Fazer stall when I put it in first gear?
I know on my Fazer, if the side stand is down and I go to put it into 1st gear from neutral, the engine will cut out. This is the switch working correctly. If it developed a fault it either wouldn’t cut the engine, or it would sense that the stand was down, even if it wasn’t.
