    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Over here, it's wired in series with starter button- if you don't pull in clutch lever, the starter solenoid won't engage. Lots of us just bypass it (the connections are probably in headlight bucket) and live dangerously.

There are two wires going to the clutch switch. The clutch swith is in series with the starter solenoid. When the clutch is not pulled in the two wires are disconnected from each other thus blocking voltage from getting to the solenoid which would enable the starter. When the clutch switch is pulled in it allows the voltage to pass through to get to the solenoid.

To disable the function, cross the wires before they get to the clutch switch.

Inside the headlight housing, there are two bullet connectors going to this switch. Conveniently, one is male, one female, join them together and the switch is no longer in the system.

Do this. One more thing that can never go bad. ;)
Save the switch for a back-up for your front brake light switch, same part.
