    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.
