My kick stand goes up as soon as I drive forward, which is a good thing for me since I can barely reach the stand to put it up with my foot.

Neutral safety switch?? Is that to say the bike won't start in gear unless the clutch is pulled? That's news to me! I know it will start in gear with the clutch pulled.

I was so used to my VTX shutting off when I lowered the kickstand in gear, I relied on it as a kill switch. The first time I tried it on my Ultra, I almost drove into the work bench. That is a lesson that only needs to be learned once. If you need repetition, perhaps a new hobby is in order :-).

thats exactly right. if you are in gear and don't pull the clutch, hit the start button, and nothing happens. pull in the clutch and it'll start.

(disclaimer: i don't know about the other models, but at least on the touring models)

Since I myself personally have never seen a "Fat Ladys ***" in that position, - I wouldn't know!

I love the new Tundra's, but I gotta' admit Ford did a kick-a$$ job on the new F-150. That is one sharp looking truck!

Good to know they changed in '07. I was at a bike nite with my '03 RKC and left the bike in gear because I was parked on a pretty good incline (and I didn't yet trust the Harley jiffy stand). At any rate I'm getting ready to leave, all cool, hit the starter button and the bike lurched forward a couple of inches as the engine turned over. I'm just glad she didn't start! Trust me, I never did that again!
