It's most likely the sending switch. I'm not familiar with that specific type, try seeing if it's a mechanical or electric switch. If it's mechanical you can try loosening it up with some WD40 it might just be junked up and sticking. If it's electric just find a replacement. The only other normal reason would be a short in the line/switch, but it's most likely the sensor itself.

My 1985 maxim on start up and shifting from N to 1st shuts off...Iwas told it could be the swich down below close to the stand?

Most motorcycles have a side stand safety switch. If you forget to put your side stand up and put the motorcycle in gear it is designed to turn the engine off . If you put the side stand up before putting the bike in gear , it will remain running. This is so you do not drive down the road with your side stand down, take a left turn, and crash your motorcycle.

Zl900 eliminator starts and runs good. when i put it into gear (with the side stand up)the motor shuts down.

Hi
It sounds like the side-stand switch is not working - check for continuity across it & for any bad contacts or broken / crushed wiring also
