Starting issue
I just changed out the handle bars on my '12 Ultra Classic and now it won't start unless it's in neutral. Everything else works works as it did before the swap. Any ideas?

sometimes when removing and reinstalling the left housing the plunger for the clutch switch is not adjusted properly. loosen it up and take a look. also, while slightly loosened and being able to move the clutch and switch housing try starting it by pulling the clutch in while it gear to see if it starts.

Not sure how they have changed over the years, my 07 would not start with clutch in. The connector in the fairing came loose under warranty. Wrapped it in tywraps.
