Won't Start in Gear (with clutch in and kickstand up)

Post by **disco42** » Tue Jul 07, 2020 4:56 pm

2018 1700ABS. Will start in neutral but won't start in gear with the kickstand up and the clutch in. If I start in neutral, put in gear and drop the kickstand it kills the engine: so I know it's not the kickstand switch. Can this be the clutch box switch. There are two switches by the clutch lever: I assume one is for the cruise kill. When I meter them and pull in the clutch: on one I get and open to short and the other I have no change: always an open. Safe to assume this is my problem?

I've had two of the switches go bad at the clutch lever. It worked awhile longer after it started acting up by choking up on the clutch lever and squeezing the lever firmly against the grip.

If under warranty take it to the dealership.
