i broke the tabs on the side stand switch on my 701 a few days ago. got moving again by ziptying the parts back in place. took a few minutes but this was a known issue to me, so i looked there first. I appreciate the video... will order the product as well as try to work out something to prevent the problem.
Why not move the sensor up in the frame and zip ties it close to the metal and you can start whenever you like? I'm used to enduro bikes and never forget the kick stand.
Did you ever work out what the roller bearing bits were off...I NEED to know !..also,I know you don’t have the bike anymore...but my solution to the kickstand switch issue,is glueing a small magnet on the sensor,and putting the whole thing in the battery box out of the way...cheers from the UK.
Looks great . But if its only bypassing the stand switch . Want is still not start if its in gear etc ? I thought it had another sensor for the gear position sensor ?
KTM 990 has the same problem, I got the CJ designs Dongle, Fixed stalling. Keep us up to date on that metal found in the Engine, I want a to sell my old 990 and buy a 701, Warranty should be 2 years 24,000 right?
Took some pushing back but Husqvarna called me and said they would like to offer me a complimentary engine rebuild...... The motor is at corporate headquarters but I've missed the best of the riding season....
Clark Rupp oh man that sucks but atleast they are fixing it. I'm holding off on the canister delete and aftermarket exhaust because I was told by my dealer that it would void the warranty.
Normally the cams ride on solid bearings but having never open this thing up I don't know...... The hot no-start issue to me is a valve timing/gap issue. The bike went to the shop today and from looking at the bits and pieces I brought in they had no idea..... Stay tuned !

I have an aftermarket skid plate which covers this, I installed it anyway and left the wiring for the oem part intact just in case
This is why I got the AXP skid plate. Covers this and the linkage as well. Video on my channel if you’re curious
Thanks for the upload and for your time. The Achilles heel. Let see how it goes with Husqvarna, keep the update going, cheers.
Hopefully you have a KLR laying about for backup.

So what was the ultimate outcome regarding your engine issue? Very curious about what Husky did for you and what failed!
Kim Angell I need to make another video !
Can you eliminate the kickstand safety switch ?
That's what this dongle does..... But you can't just unplug the stock one.
Did you check valve clerance on 6000 miles ?
It was on my schedule to do the week before......but that wasn't the problem. Bike still in the shop waiting to hear from H
Let me guess - rocker arm bearing ?
Seems to be terminology "swings" but looks like camshaft balancing shaft. Common problem ?
The engine is from KTM duke, only the engine head is whole new design from KTM enginneers..
Are you aware of top end engine issues ?
Cam bearing
