Sidestand question is a great debate. I got a bit frustrated the other day, why was the Yamaha stopping everytime I went to pull away?
The sidestand was down and there's a trip switch.
No trip switch in the Matchless. I have that sidestand set to flip up. It's not been a problem except when I've fallen over because I was fatigued and thought I'd put it down when I hadn't. On balance, I'd rather do that at zero miles an hour than fall over when on the move.
Personal choice, that's a great thing about old motorcycles.

If you have a magneto that you can easily attach an earth to then its easy to buy a micro switch with a blade arm set to earth the mag when the sidestand is out. I fitted one about 7 years ago and despite oil and water its still working. Trouble is I have an oil switch with a cutout too and between the two of them I occasionally find I am kicking the bike with no chance of it starting.56G80S wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:41 am Sidestand question is a great debate.

Clive, quite right, I have a cut out switch on the handlebars! When I eventually get everything back in one piece and the essential wiring tidied (in other words the indicators and two small LED spotlights) I might try that suggestion. Need a new spring too.
You're not on your own on the pointless kicking. I have been known to kick over a few times before remembering that the HT lead is off the spark plug.
On topic, Rob Swift's stand is great.
