Won't start in gear
#1
Mentioned to the guys when we met last week that once I stalled at a set of lights and it wouldn't start in gear with the clutch pulled in, resulting in me looking like a dick (more than usual) getting it to neutral.

Only thing I'm now thinking is maybe the pazzo's I have are causing the problem with the clutch switch??

Anyone had the same problem or do the Genll's only start in neutral with the clutch pulled in?

But I still have to pull the clutch in to start it.

I've only stalled it with the pazzo's on to.

Cheers.

Beau adjust the lever further from the bar with the adjuster and then retry it ............. probably find that will fix it.
Give me buzz re another matter .
cheers

I can hear the switch ticking on/off while pulling in/out. I can only adjust the span, and even on the closest setting can still hear it working. I'm at a loss as rod recons his Genll starts in gear with the clutch pulled in.

Rod dis I upset you? Is this like asking for a can of striped paint?

The bikes only 7k old.

To make sure it definitely isn't the switch, bridge it out and then try.
At least that will totally eliminate or prove whether the lever/switch has anything to do with it.


This has got me thinking . . . Confused
if people buy pazzos because they feel good, but then have to adjust them to a different position so they work, doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of buying them in the first place? Confused

I'm not sure why I didnt think of that myself ward. Thanks. If they are the prob I'll be pissed cause they're spost to be the best matching set (I don't like folding type) and I payed through the nose from the factory in cally cause I wanted them engraved.

I would defiantly try bridgeing the two wires first As Wardy said. if it is the switch dont panic easy fix

If it starts in neutral but not in gear, I'd check the stand switch .

also, just because the clutch switch is clicking doesnt mean it is actually working.

If it was the clutch switch then it would not start in Neutral either Nerd

Isn't it Ironic that my Favourite Stretch of Tarmac is called C.O.P. Eek

That's what I was thinking. Cause I need to pull clutch to start. Just won't do it in gear.

Took the cover off, gave the stand switch about 20 of full in out jabs, turned the key, put her in gear, and she started straight up. Problem solvered.

Thanks for the advice all.
