Hey mate 1st of all thanks for taking the time out to make this video. I fitted the side stand relocate today on my 2020 790R I didn't have to as you said take AXP skid plate off the wire to the sender was routed behind the countershaft sprocket with 2 locating screws for the special wire holder after removing the countershaft sprocket I had to cut the plastic swingarm protector slightly to remove both the wire holder with 2 small zip ties out once removed I re routed the wire up behind the cylinder on the back of the starter motor re zip tied the wiring with the quick shifter harness wires job done just sharing for those who bother to read the comments cheers Travis
Can see how this would be important for serious off roading. My DR650 has a clutch and kickstand switch that many bypass to avoid aggravation. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man. Have a good one
I had the side stand sensor fail on my 990 Superduke and on the 990 SMR. I carried the side stand eliminator. It plugged in to the connector near the side stand. So the switch does fail on its own from time to time.
I like this idea, and will be getting one.
Ya, I would love to have something that plugs in like that. But unfortunately, not available from anyone yet. This is the next best thing
i am looking forward more 790 offroad madness ;)
I have some videos on the BikeBandit TH-cam channel as well.
Good Review and install. I'm going with the Enduro Engineering skid plate, and going to try and fab the AXP so the wings protect the tank.
EE makes some quality stuff. I just prefer AXP because it slides over rocks so well and doesn't vibrate. All depends on what you're using it for
Thanks for the vid. I’ll get one for sure, but I’m going to try and find a place to mount it not on the engine... even if I need to splice in some wire to make it longer. Mines decat’d so there’s gotta be room somewhere and not on an engine bolt. Again, thanks for the vid. 👍
You can remove nthe left leg assembly to get more slack. You can run it up to the starter or mount it somewhere on the frame fairly easily.
The starter honestly looks like an awesome place.
If the bypass is mounted near the CAT would not the heat damage the switch?
I never had an issue
I was with you until about 4 minutes in...I don't think I have a 10mm... when I got my set that one piece slot was empty. Tried to return it & every other set was the same way...
🤣
Epic 😂
Ok, we've seen the video on installing this bypass but what oof the switch goes bad? You're still stranded unless you know a work around for the switch. Does anyone know the principle the switch runs on so we can bypass it if we need to? There has to be a bypass that fools the ECU.
That would be nice... But I haven't seen one yet for this bike. At least this tucks it up and out of the way so it won't get smashed
How is the axp skid plate?
I love them. I run them on all my bikes. It's the bets skid plate of you plan on actually needing a skid plate on your bike
good video. May I know how tall are you ?
I'm 6 foot 245 pounds
But this bypass thing doesn’t work on the 2024 890r.
Well, this video is four years old
I would reach out to Rottweiler Performance, as I’m sure they will have a solution soon
We need to get you some more subscribers so you can get a proper bike lift. Keep up the great video's.
This one works fine for now. Good for moving the bike around also
But ya, a real lift and a bigger garage would be epic
What did you do to Travis? Who is this impostor? Seriously though, does your skid plate provide protection after relocating it? It looks like it is pretty good in the other location.
Once it is up, its in a big pocket away from everything. And the Skid plate is a couple inches below it. In the stock spot it is just above the skid plate and can be damaged by a rock, stick, or just some bad luck
Good video! Travis have you had a problem with the side stand moving during off-road travel in whoops I've noticed my kickstand moves up and down. Do you have that problem?
Every kickstand moves up and down. As long as you were moving forward it should not be a problem and should return to its original spot.
is there one for the 1290?
Im not sure but if you call RP they could help you out and get you the info you need. Im pretty sure they have something for you
wow, that's simplier than I though, and I don't like. Why not create an electric switch that would solve that? In the end it can't be too complicated what this magnetic switch is doing... And by relocating it we are only relocating the problem, not solving it.
actually, I might have a go and figure it out with a multimeter.... Can't be that hard.
Totally up to you. If it’s something you have the time and know how to do go for it.
For me, moving it up out of the way was good enough
Africa twin life!!!!!!
My friend broke his AT side stand switch in Death Valley. We fixed it by twisting the wires together and covering it in electrical tape. Wish the 790R was that simple.
I'm amazed what this Africa twin will go through for how heavy it is!
