Just make sure you jump it on the engine side and not the kickstand side. Mine was in a figure-8 and a total clusterfuck with wiring. (my own fault when I put it back together from the first disassembly)

Just pull the harness of the switch and jump it from there...much easier. You have one o' them new sportbikes though...it's prolly different that my dinosaur.

I think that you are thinking of the kick stand switch Homie. I just pulled the clutch switch off and unplugged it and used a piece of wire to jump the connector. I didn't want to cut or damage the wiring which could come back to haunt me later...

At least you didn't get up for work only to have your bike not start.
Then, taking the car to leave the gf to take the bus because there was no time to troubleshoot.

Only to arrive home from work and find the problem to be that your battery cables vibrated loose..
