Side Stand Switch.

[Jimb0b]

My side stand switch is playing up so i got another one 2nd hand but it has 3 wires on and my bike only has 2.
I know it's a long shot and i'm guessing you can't but is there a way to use a 3 wire switch on a 2 wire bike?

You can, but you'll need to meter it to find out which one/ones to connect.

It's just an on/off switch, either passes or doesn't pass current when sidestand up, opposite when it's down.

Have a look at the electrical schematic to see how it's connected (in Workshop stickies) and meter your new one to see which wires you need to connect.

I found a diagram of both switchs and i think it will work.
Will try it tommorrow and see i guess.

edit. Works just fine,just ignore the yellow wire and hook up the 2 green ones as normal
