Starts with kickstand up and clutch pulled in. I can feel the bike pull forward a bit just as it starts.   Logged     Patriot Guard Riders Patriot Guard of Montana   The administrator has disabled public write access. #302205 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3805 Re:In gear starting! 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Agpilot wrote: Does anyone know how to wire the Road* where it will start in gear with the clutch pulled in and the kickstand up??

Butch your clutch switch is bad, if you want to by pass it unplug at the switch and plug those 2 wires together, that's it. the sw. is normally an open. What you might want to try, I noticed that the switch can be taken apart when I replaced mine a few yrs back, and clean the internal contacts, just be careful, I don't know what small parts are in there nor what might be spring loaded, I already had the new sw. in hand, so didn't bother to take it apart   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #302236 Agpilot (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 774 Re:In gear starting! 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Erbman02 wrote: Agpilot wrote: Does anyone know how to wire the Road* where it will start in gear with the clutch pulled in and the kickstand up??

Guess we think along the same lines.. I just read your post, and I had already jumped the switch, and it worked! Used some QED contact cleaner, and seemed to fix it...used a little silicon lube on the plunger and it is working fine now....I don't use wd-40 on anything, but won't get into that...where did you find a switch, incase I need to replace it.... I have checked Bike Bandit oem parts, and Babbits oem parts and can not find a listing for it....Butch   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #302251 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3805 Re:In gear starting! 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Agpilot wrote: Erbman02 wrote: Agpilot wrote: Does anyone know how to wire the Road* where it will start in gear with the clutch pulled in and the kickstand up??

Adjusted clutch lever for proper play, seems to do it most when warm. Anybody else experience this?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #302359 Royal1MC (User) I may not be one, but I own one...... A STAR!!!!!
