    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

has anyone jumped out the safety switch on the clutch handle? after I got larger grips it takes a bit to squeeze the clutch in enough for the switch to let the starter run... most bikes don't have the switch... I'm thinking one less wire up to the handlebars.... thoughts????
 
That was one of the first things I did to mine, just make sure it is in netural before trying to starting, or you have the clutch in
 
I have mind jumped, a solder bridge on the two contact rails does nicely.
 
hotblack, there's a simple way to do that without making it permanent. You might at some point want to return that switch to its normal function in the event you sell it down the road. Take a quick peek at the wire color codes there at the clutch lever handgrip, then go inside the headlight case and find those same wires and disconnect the two wires from their connectors. Take the two that go back into the wiring harness and connect them together. That's all it takes. If you desire to later, you can reconnect them normally.
 
Although I can remove that solder bridge any old time I like your way better, Thanks!
