Changed the fluids on the 2015 limited at 10,000 miles. The bike won't start unless it is in neutral now, any suggestions would be helpful.

Should start in gear IF you pull in clutch lever and apply brake at the same time

Probably a bad safety switch at clutch lever. Let the dealer and warranty handle it.

Has nothing to do with the fluid change.

And FWIW, there is no interlock with the brakes.

In other words, if the clutch is in, you don't HAVE to hold the brake.... but it is a best practice.
