Question.... Ever other bike I have owned has a safety switch that will not allow the bike to be put into gear if the kickstand is still down. The bike I just purchased(which is completely stock) allows me to put the b8ke 8n gear with the stand still down.

Is this normal on the 2003’s or has someone previously been messing around with something?...

The clutch interlock switch (starter would only function if in neutral or with clutch released) was added in 2007. A side stand (jiffy stand) switch was first used in 2008 but only on police and international model Harleys.
