Maverick1100 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hello guys, Got the bird out and man it's a great felling after a few days of riding her now I cannot start her up if she is in gear. But after she is started I put her in gear and ride off no prob. (yes the kick stand is up) Where is the sensor that checks if the clutch is pulled in before starting?? I am guessing it is something simple but I just can't put my hand on it. Thanks in advance for the help. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrxxquad Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 under neath the clutch lever, two wires plug in there, one off no start. Or the switch is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat830 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It's the clutch switch. Try cleaning the area, might have grease on it. Check the wires to make sure they are connected. I have Pazzo levers, if I have them adjusted in towards the handlebar, she won't start in gear because the clutch lever sensor doesn't get pulled in far enough even though the clutch works just fine on that setting.

BobZ Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Silly question - why start in gear? I've been riding for 28 years and have always started in neutral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Para045 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Silly question - why start in gear? I've been riding for 28 years and have always started in neutral. It is VERY handy/safer if the bike happens to stall while at the lights, especially if you have split between traffic Much quicker/easier to just pull clutch/hit starter and accelerate away than having to pop it back into neutral, then start and find gear again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick1100 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Para045: You took the words right of my mouth. Also since you park your bike in gear I am finding it a real pain of the extra step of having to put her in neutral then starting then back into gear. Simple but that is me.

Para045 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Para045: You took the words right of my mouth. Better than taking something else outa your mouth Also since you park your bike in gear I am finding it a real pain of the extra step of having to put her in neutral then starting then back into gear. Simple but that is me. I use my Centre Stand 99% of the time so almost never leave it in gear so not really a problem in that sense but have stalled the bike before when splitting (usually when I have forgotten to release the Vista Cruise :icon_wall: ) So have you checked the connections etc and found an answer?
