    07 R1200GS Side Stand Kill Switch

    Does anyone know how to remove and dis-connect the side stand kill switch? A short in the wiring caused a friends bike to not work because of this fault, so I was thinking I should remove mine and prevent this from happening. Thanks for any help, thoughts, ideas that you have.
