clutch switch question

4997 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  cbr900racer77
it seems like the clutch switch on my 929 has gone bad - it'll no longer start in gear, even with the clutch in. is there anything wrong with just connecting the two wires that go to the switch?

Yeah...now after trying all that I'd say yes join the two wires and you should be good to go. Keep in mind that switch is there for a reason and look into replacing or perhaps it or the lever just need some adjustment.
There's no adjustment that I can see. I pulled the lever off and it's a fixed part of it that pushes on the switch, so I don't see how I can adjust it.


I'm aware that it's there for a reason, but I've bypassed them on plenty of other bikes with no problems.
No problem with just connecting the wires. It still won't crank unless in neutral. Only problem is if you stall motor in traffic or something and you'll have to go back to neutral to start.

What? Is there a specific resistance needed or something?

What I know for sure right now is that it needs to be in neutral to start.
OOps, nevermind. Temporary brain fart...:huh:
