Hello all. I am new to V-Stroms and have just bought one. I have come from a Supermoto and am not used to having a side stand sensor/switch as in my state, it isn't mandatory for on-road registration. Riding the bike seemed fine, goes through all the gears.
I have a question regarding the side stand sensor though, and I apologise if it sounds silly, but while I was on the bike and ready to take off, I put it into 1st and there was a big clunking sound as the bike shut off right away. This happened twice before I realised the side stand was down.
I know that the side stand sensor is working as intended obviously, but it's just not something I'm used to yet. Would that clunking noise I heard have done any damage, like to the gearbox or something?
I am just cautious as I worked extremely hard to buy this bike and thought I'd ask here before riding it again to prevent any damage from doing so. From this though it is definitely not something I'll forget about again.
