Is there a kickstand/Center stand switch on the 1980 GS 550L?

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Its not an inspection issue. Just been trying to resolve a start button Issue and it was proposed to me... could it be a malfunctioning Switch at the stand.

No. The only starter interlock is the clutch switch. You can try bypassing that if it hasn't been already. Follow the wires from the clutch switch back to the headlight bucket and plug the harness ends into each other.
Try wiggling the clutch lever while it is pulled in and while holding the starter button.
Yah, the circuit is:
fuse
to
kill switch
to
starter button
to
clutch switch (called "interlock" on schematic)
to
starter solenoid.
And starter solenoid is grounded through its mounting bolt to the battery box. But sometimes the battery box is not well grounded, which is why there is a black/white grouund wire from the wiring harness to improve the grounding of the battery box. But sometimes is problem with the other end of that wire not being grounded so causes problems with starter solenoid (and R/R operation).
[more can be said, but for now ... ].
Best way to troubleshoot this would be with a volt meter or a test probe/light to see where you are loosing it.

Yea I have been going at this one for a while. Miked has been a great help with all my Voltmeter testing. Clutch bypass is done and I replaced RH controls and Solenoid. I am currently looking for broken wiring etc throughout and possibly just rewiring that portion.
