i want to warm up without being on the bike, same as you. My side stand does indeed turn off the engine, but the center stand doesn't!

So, I've just been putting the bike in the center stand in the morning and all is good! And I never forget about putting it down because my feet are always slightly higher and of course the bike just feels different when on the center stand.

So, this could be an option for anyone out there

I haven't tampered with mine as I warm the bike up on the centre stand in my garage then wheel the bike out while it's still running, then put it back on the centre stand while I lock the garage and put my helmet on.

As the bike is so easy to lift onto the centre stand, I don't find it a big inconvenience.

Has any GT owner actually had a problem with the side stand cut out switch?

As the GT frame is totally different from other Enfields, I just wondered if this problem hasn't affected the GTs?

JohnDL, yes very first week of having my GT. cut-out a couple of times and miss-fired. Then one evening kept doing it in truck traffic requiring me to do some hairy lane changes to save being crushed. Pulled into a parking lock and un-plugged it. Knew what to do as my 2011G5 did it to me one the San Mateo Bridge on the way to San Francisco for it's first service. It looks like the problem is still alive and well (unfortunately) with the GT.
