#191872 Gizz (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Starting in gear 3 Years ago   First time poster. My '06 will not start in gear. Stand up, clutch engaged but nothing. All lights and gauges on and working. Starts perfectly in neutral. This is a real pain because I never park on a level surface and rocking it to neutral is sometimes impossible to be done alone. Any help out there.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #191873 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2385 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   i believe it has a neutral switch preventing this for safety reasons.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #191874 Jade68454 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1237 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   I have a 2000 starts in gear of course with the clutch engaged and the kickstand up... if the kick stand is down it wont start unless in neutral and   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/04 03:15 By Jade68454.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #191880 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1397 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   I believe you guys mean disengaged for the clutch. It is engaged when the clutch handle is not pulled in (Clutch engaged with the engine). The clutch switch may be faulty. It should start in gear as long as the kickstand is up and the clutch is disengaged, clutch handle pulled in (Clutch disengaged from the engine).   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/04 05:20 By Road_Hawg.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #191904 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow!

Keep your front brake engaged.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #191922 Aussie B (User) I intend to live forever, so far so good Senior Boarder Posts: 366 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   Clutch engaged/disengaged is a topic that iv'e seen before. Maybe we should say 'clutch lever pulled in'. Sounds like it might be the neutral switch. When you start it in neutral, do you have the clutch lever pulled in? If you do, then it would be the neutral switch. If not it would be the clutch lever switch that is playing up. I think.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #192009 gareva1 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 323 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   How bout you put it in neutral before you shut it off? Things that I've personally noticed about this bike tells me that it doesn't particularly like being started and stopped in gear, maybe its just me.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #192017 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   Bike should always be left parked in gear.

I do that too. I believe he is saying it will not crank when he disengages the clutch (pulls clutch handle in) while it is in gear. Kickstand is up, so it must be a faulty clutch lever switch. That's my take on it. BTW, there should be no confusion about disengage and engage. When the clutch is engaged, the engine and tranny are coupled together by the clutch plates mating up with the friction plates (Clutch lever is not pulled), when the clutch is disengaged, the engine and tranny are uncoupled from each other by the clutch plates being separated from the friction plates(Clutch lever pulled in).   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/05/04 17:38 By DocShadow.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #192111 Roadkill1962 (User) ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ Platinum Boarder Posts: 3213 Re:Starting in gear 3 Years ago   Road_Hawg wrote: I understand him to mean that he is parking on a hill and he is leaving it in gear to prevent it from rolling while parked.

So...now that everyone's clear on the definitions of the clutch being engaged and not engaged, what do we call riding in the "friction zone"? Is that when the engine and tranny are "just seeing each other"? Sorry, Road_Hawg, I'm with you & I just couldn't resist...
