Today I performed the 10K service myself using the SHOP MANUAL.

Took the bike out to warm up the oils. Came back and changed all the oils, and adjusted the clutch. I've done this many times.

Tried to start it after I was done and nothing. Put new batteries in the fobs and still no start. The fuel pump and all the lights came on, but dead otherwise.

Pulled in the clutch lever and it started and ran fine, even after letting the clutch lever out.

What's going on here? Thanks.

 

There is a switch in the clutch perch....just like the brake switch on the brake side. You probably dislodged it a bit during your clutch adjust. Revisit that area and check. The switch will not allow the bike to start in gear without clutch being pulled in.

 

Make sure the Tranny is in neutral and you are getting a neutral light. Won't start in gear unless the clutch is pulled in.

 

Yes in neutral and have light. Might just redo the clutch adjust.

 

Clutch adjustment needs to be done when the bike is cold.

 

Jiffy Stand Down???

 

thats only a factor in the international bikes. thankfully, we haven't got to that point here in the states.

 

Yes bike was cold, I used the shop manual... Is it possible that I damaged the clutch switch. The small switch beind the clutch lever?

 

all that switch does is allow you to start the bike in gear with the clutch lever being pulled in. if you damaged the switch, you would have the symptom of not being able to start in gear with the clutch pulled. it should have no effect on whether or not it will start in neutral, clutch pulled or not.

 

Absolutely!!! JR
