I recently installed the Ducati Performance/Starlane QS on my 1098; it plugs into the sidestand switch connector to kill ignition when gear selector is activated. Fine and well, but this of course means I can't have a working sidestand switch with the QS installed. I understand this is a race application, but this is a street bike and would like to have both.
So, I attempted a fix: I spliced the pertinent SS switch wires onto the harness, to "piggyback" the QS. When I did this, both the QS and SS switch became non - operative. I tried 2 methods, tapping into both sides of the SS switch connector. Same result both ways.
When I disconnected the SS switch wire taps, the QS behaved normally.
Does anybody have any idea why this may be? Could it be due to excess voltage when both systems are attached to the harness? All ideas welcome.
Thnx, Greg in Houston
