Whilst appreciating most manufacturers now involve the engine ignition circuit (inc even my Moto Guzzi!) I personally regard it as unwise to add circuitry here given the ramifications of wiring / component issues causing an unnecessary engine failure at critical times. A far better solution might be a starter motor inhibit, but in the case of a side stand appreciate not quite optimum, I know.
With aviation as my background, proximity switches occasionally caused concern (typically a Door message), but notably, and for good reason, could never trigger an engine shutdown.
I’ll avoid over complication myself, and likely just do a buzzer iaw neutral, or if direct fit, the K7 / F1/2 side-stand

Thanks Nige / Ken - some good info, and yep, point taken about the dangers of the rubber wrt full extension.
Can anyone with intricate knowledge of K7/F1-2 setups confirm whether their side stands can be a direct swap-over to a K2 pls?
A simple buzzer may suffice, will give both options some thought - including perhaps a sticker on my visor saying, “Put the ‘stand up ya prat”

Appreciating it would be non-standard, but almost having set off with the sidestand down today (in a vague rush) am asking whether there is a ‘stand with rubber safety peg (like my 400F2 had) that is compatible with the CB750K2?
I have been to great pains to keep the bike factory, but hey….

It’s all of 2 screws Johnny to get the sprocket cover off. One minute tops. Adjustment 1/4 out, cover back on, another minute with the screws & wait until the next ride to evaluate. Versus wiping the whole chain with an oily rag / brush at regular intervals.
You pays more money & take yer choice I guess…
I’m just hoping it stays well behaved!

Interesting & thanks Ash; can you divulge who to contact wrt this?

Seems to me that the (earlier) CB750K Chain Oiler was not a popular thing, ie most folk have them disabled. Just asking why, as in my recent rebuild I’ve recommissioned mine, and tbh quite impressed by it. It’s been a while finding it’s ‘sweet spot’ (ie 1/4 turn out < each outing) - but I think I’m there now, with the rollers damp but not soaked. Perhaps it’s simply working nicely due my fairly conservative treatment of the old girl, but nevertheless keen to hear all comments.

Not sure of the 500 battery strap geography, but on my 400F I simply bonded a light alloy ‘tab’ to the back of the ignition unit, put 2 radiused 180 bends (lower bend anchored the bottom of the strap) in it and hung it over said strap. The unit was therefore cooled adequately, took minimal space and looked almost professionally mounted.

Sorry - misunderstood the bit about starter button / kill switch.
I guess the easiest way to check is to have the engine running whilst moving the under tank connections boot up & down a bit in the hopes of a cut-out. (or within the headlamp bowl wherever…)

Given both the Kill Switch and the Start button are failing it might just be the multi-connector - can’t remember if it’s found within the headlamp or boot below the tank?
Do the headlamp / park lamp behave 100% as these too share the same multi connector?
Have a look at this wiring diagram, and note the three black (ie switched live) feeds all originate from a common multi-connector.

Yep Matt, the dolly is free castoring and, as you say, basically pivots about the front wheel. It makes for a whole new driving experience 😂, and is easy. Just love spinning the bike to face out, and driving straight in to open space @ the end.

I too am noticing this wretched ageing malarkey Julie; and recently stepped back from buying an even heavier bike due it 🙁. I did however invest in this bike mover thing for the K2, and am chuffed with it. If does alas have the drawback of a bit more effort getting the bike up on the stand (Trigger must have some uses!) but once there it’s a breeze manoeuvring the lump safely around the garage.

I’ve used Richard’s - they’re superb. He offers two types, dimpled (correct) and non-dimpled (easier to fit). If you end up going this route be sure to order the version that suits your needs best. (don’t ask me how I know 😂)

Very nice Rob; what do you use to ensure the brightness?
