Thank you so much this video helped greatly. I just acquired a 1983 suzuki gs650l and the previous owner laid it down broke the clutch handle and a few other things and this helped figure out why the bike wouldn't start. The oem part I got had a different connection so I just cut the wires spliced am and hooked directly to the switch and it works perfectly now

This video was very helpful thank you So long story short I was having the same issue and after watching this helpful video went outside to take out the clutch switch and clean it as well when I saw that it had a loose connector so I properly connected it again and tried to turn it on with the clutch in and first gear in and it worked so I was being a noob should've checked first but anyways thanks for the video for future reference Honda cbr600rr 2009

Yesterday I was adjusting the handlebar position and after that my bike stopped starting while in gear. Thanks for the explanation. Probably I just pulled out the connector or something like that.

I had similar clutch issues on my '13 zx6r only because i purchased a new lever and it had its own perch which the switch can not connect to, now that I saw you jump it with a wire i think I shall try to find a super small piece of black wire and secure it with electrical tape so it all matches down there
@theoverengineer
8 жыл бұрын
+LazyWaffles I twisted my wire around the rest of the wiring harness twice and bent it in a U shape that holds the connector upside down in a vertical position. If there is vibration, it can only shake into the jumpwire, making electrical contact stronger if anything.

Any switch will do, or no switch at all, just connect the wires in ON configuration. (but it's a safety switch, you might not want to bypass the switch)

Could have 2 more circuits running through: say 1 for powering the starter, 1 for ECU running data, 1 for safety linked to kick stand switch too. I`m guessing, not reading your wiring diagram. You do that.
