Well, I've just been and checked my bike, just to be sure, and your installation looks to be basically the same as mine.
I've made the connections in slightly different locations .. the one to the neutral switch wire is on the other side of the single pole amp superseal connector but that's obviously an insignificant difference and my connection to the sidestand wire is at the relay itself but its still to the grey wire, which is the live from the sidestand switch .. so all seems to be well there. My next thought would be that those blue patch connector units might not be making a good connection .. I'm guessing that they kinda snap closed over the wire and cut into it to make the connection. Is there any way you can check the continuity of those ? After that I can only think that you've got a duff diode (or one of the connections to it is bad). I'm not the world's best electrician myself but this should all be reasonably straightforward so I think my analysis should be accurate. |

Not saying they're the cause of the problem but you should definitely replace them with a better alternative.

I've tested both my diodes with the mulitmeter and got a reading. I have continuity with the scotch locks too. Will take another look today and see how I get on.

Aha .. I assume its working now then ?
Tbh it did seem highly likely that the connectors were at fault because the modification was having no effect on the system at all. As long as the diode was capable of allowing current to flow, you should have had some change in the operation of the sidestand cutout .. quite probably it would have started with the stand either up or down. Glad you're sorted anyway. |

Thanks for all the help |

I was looking at this yesterday for an early Monster, 95. Am I right -those dont have a Side stand relay? The side stand switch simply switches a live feed to a dash warning triangle lamp that is earthed. A couple of small Songle relays and a few diodes would do it I think, to give you:-

Aha .. you assume that I'm well versed in electrical matters.
I'm afraid that's not the case. I originally learned of the diode mod through another club member .. I didn't work it out for myself. Having said that, I did manage to decipher its logic sufficiently to satisfy myself that it would work, but I'm afraid that's just about the limit of my capabilities. I'm not really competent to advise on your system. |

I have finished the relay module now and it works as intended.
