clutch starts

Post by seb421 »

a while ago when my bike had an oem honda clucth lever i could start the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in, some time ago after fitting new levers i noticed i couldnt any more, when i changed my levers again the other day i noticed there is a little switchy thing in the lever, has this been known to fail, or is it likley to be a fuse somewhere thats causeing this?

I can't remember, and I'm not going out in the snow to look, but is the switch in the lever or the housing?

If (as I think) it's in the housing, changing the lever won't make any difference.
Have you checked the connections on the lead?
