Re: Where is the kickstand sensor located on a 1996...
Look where the sidestand pivot bolt is....just above it you should see a switch with a plunger, so when the sidestand is operated the plunger moves in and out.

Could be a couple things, first, make sure your kick stand is all the way up, if so, you probably have either a bad kickstand or clutch switch. They can be checked with a meter set on ohms, if you get the same reading in both "in and out" the switch is bad, Frank
could be a clutch issue but first make sure it doesnt have a saftey switch in the kickstand it will be like a secondary kill switch that kills the engine so you don't ride of with the kickstand down its a little sensor that usuall has 2 wires coming out of it sometimes you can bypass it although i dont recommend this as a permanent fix, look near the kickstand pivot for this sensor
your kickstand safety switch is gummed up. for safety reasons your bike will not allow you to ride with the kickstand down. The switch is stuck that controls this safety feature. A can of spray carb cleaner will remove any gunk, or you may need to replace the switch. The switch is located near the kickstand. Just look for some wires in the area, they most likey go to the switch.
jump the two wire together in the plug that used to go to the switch, It shouldnt fry a relay or fuse, as that is all the switch does anyway(contact the two wires)
