clutch lever switch

[Stedman8]

Morning all, just a quick couple of questions - underneath the clutch lever is a small switch which is normally depressed by a flat plate on the lever ( It allows you to start the engine when in gear while disengaging the clutch )  I have just put some adjustable levers on but the switch wont work until I have the lever set at max adjustment , what I would like to know is a) Is the switch plastic and b) could I shorten it a little so as to allow the lever a little more adjustment,cheers Steve

Ahah! I did not even know this switch existed and may well explain why I can't start the bike with the clutch in!

Sorry for the lack of help, but information on this would be good

I fooked mine when trying to remove it (snapped one of the plastic legs off) so I've just wired the switch shut....now I have to remember to pull the clutch it when starting in gear but it's instinctive anyway.


Not paying £11 for a plastic switch!

I know right...£11!!  Outrageous!


:lol

[Stedman8]

At that rate I've got a bike that must be worth in the region of, oh at least £25,000  :lol

OK more news on the switch ,I took a sharp pair of wire clippers to the end of it and it seems to have done the trick    :lol
