This is for anyone who has a GSX-R .
On the right front air intake there are 2 small black boxes. The first one is for the fuses but the second one is a turning signal/kickstand relay. This past weekend some a$@%*#@ stole this off my bike. When this is removed the circuit for the "kill switch" attached to the kickstand is broken. This means that the bike cannot be started. Unless you cut into the main wiring harness and bypass the circuit (yeah who is going to do that).
I would suggest doing the following:
a. bolt that down somehow if you can
b. remove it at night if you are in a place you don't know
c. keep a spare in your tail or tank bag if you have one.
I unfortunately had to leave my bike in another state saturday and sunday until I could get a replacement part. The part isn't cheap either - about $65. If you have a GSX-R please take one of my suggestions. It had to be one of the most frustrating moments.
