I have two wires that are twisted together but I don't know what they go to or used to go too. The wires are one black and one gray. They go up into the main harness.

I want to say that is for the side stand switch

Yep, if they're shorted together like that, looks like the side stand switch to me!

Side stand is on the other side of the bike ? I'm thinking N switch ? does it go into the back of the motor block, by the swingarm ?

I will look when I get home tonight. It could be the side stand that is in the other side. Completely spaced that option. My N light works as it's supposed to so I don't think it's that.

Yea, the cable was routed to the other side for some reason… there isn't any other cable that when shorted together, the bike still runs.

 

[garylkendall]

untwist it and see if it starts. if not then its the kick stand switch

Great help, terrible self diagnosis. Haha you guys nailed it

Ok maybe 1 ? Clutch safety switch . Not to split hairs here Tye ? just sayin

On a side note, WTF is all that yellow water stained stuff on the frame and swing arm( rad leak ?)? also , you might want to move or rotate your rear brake reservoir , as the supply line is resting on the motor block and that isn't brake fluid friendly .

Neutral safety switch is a single cable.

The clutch safety switch has a short cable and not all desmoquattro's have them.

It is rusty water that splashed up on everything from the clutch spinning and throwing it out. It set out in the rain and as you can see the cover isn't on at the moment . I will have to move that reservoir, only had the bike for a couple weeks and haven't rode it much. Thanks for the heads up
