Mike...I'm thinking, He meant the switch on the clutch lever , And that wound't change the no-start problem, Theres a secret to starting the 17's, And its hidden deep in the manual....Like Yogi said, You can observe a lot just by looking..

 

Sorry, it is a little switch up there somewhere.
The TG is perfect in every other way.
Sorry for the confusion!

Mine turned out to be the little bracket that holds the left hand switches in. One of the little screws that holds the switches in, the top right one, the hole in the bracket was broken off so that screw was not holding anything down. So it will be going to the dealer for warranty repair or replacement. (Sometimes mine would start in gear and sometimes not.)

 

dealer call today and said it was the switch
i will pick it up Tuesday and report

Ah Soooooo ! Speaking of the manual, does it show the pattern to tighten the rear lug nuts ?

 

New to Tri-Glide. Yea, I noticed that and just assumed that was the "way it was". Did not know about the "brake and in-gear" over-ride. Since there was such a big emphasis on not running over your own leg, I just figured this was another safety thing to insure "you know where your transmission is" before you start.

 

got her back 2 days ago.
it will start in gear with the brake on and the clutch pulled 3/4 of the way in.
i do not have to touch the hand grip.

i am very happy!
