Alarm Bypass

I refitted it after giving it a good dousing in WD40 and operating the striker 10 or twenty times but get exactly the same issue. 

Key in turn on, clutch in, side stand up, flick the kill switch on, let the injectors prime, press the go button and she fires up into a lovely idle. release the clutch and she stays in idle. Clutch in - engine still idles, drop it in first and engine stops dead.

Also tried putting on the main stand and popping it in first, same result, second, same result.

I know there is a tip sensor but I guess the bike wouldn't start at all if this was detected.

Gear Position Sensor or wiring?Only change youre making is gear selection so that might be your clue. Checks for it are in manual. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I had something simular on my old k2 and it turned out to be a dirty connection in the topple over switch's plug .
It might be worth giving the loom plugs a good check over (including all the ones in the headlight and under the left sidepanel)
The topple over switch is mounted next to the regulator/rectifier on the front of the rear mudguard behind the airbox .
Good luck

Blimey these 20 year old bikes are complicated - gear position sensor - tip over sensor - side stand sensor etc. etc.  When did manufacturers start thinking we were all idiots
