Your bike apparently has a safety mechanism where the engine shuts off while in gear, if the side stand is extended. The wire you fixed may not have been fixed properly. There is a switch at the end of that wire which senses the kick stand position. See if that switch is working properly. You can bypass the switch by shorting the wire, but remember it's a safety mechanism and it's better to keep it fixed.
Hi Ron, I would check the clutch interface switch at the clutch lever it sounds as if it is either faulty, broken, come loose or stuck. Some bikes have loads of problems with this beastie. Pull in the clutch lever then try spraying some lube between the lever and the stock and see if you can see the switch plunger move. You might have to remove the clutch lever completely to see this if you do then you should be able to push the plunger in by finger and see it spring back out. The whole switch does in some cases come loose if you look for 2 wires going into the clutch lever stock see it the thing they go into is loose or pushed out, normally they just push back with a slight click. When you operate the clutch lever the switch plunger should move out allowing the bike to start in gear. On my Suzuki you have to operate the clutch lever to start even in neutral. Hope this helps
Hello, Your bike has a safety interlock built in that will need to be thought of when you try to start the bike. The Kick stand needs to be in the UP position, not toward or resting on the ground if the transmission is in any gear other than Neutral. In other words the neutral gear the bike will always start regardless of the kickstand's position. On the other hand if you are in gear and put down the kickstand without thinking the bike will shut off.
I would suspect two things ... thing one ... are you sure the '82 has a safety interlock switch? Thing two ... if it does have a switch, check it for proper operation.
Is you're side stand completely upright, it sounds as if your safety switch is sticking on your stand wd40, both stand and switch, wipe any residue wd40 of any rubber asit rots it
