    some bikes have a stand down switch stopping bike from being started and then rode of with the stand in the down setting, but it can usually be bypassed so the bike will start with stand down.

    its just a safety thing

    Just unplug it.
    Sometimes they stick
    Who owns that black shadow? Are they looking to do a trade for a drag car by any chance?...
