Clutch switch?

(1/4) > >>

MrDavo:
Why does my K1 import have 2 wires going to the clutch lever? Why does it want to know if I've got the clutch pulled in or not?

Bullit:
Safety feature so you can't start it in gear? But then surely the neutral switch could do the same job?

SteveD CB500K0:
Like most modern bikes, I guess they won't let it start without the clutch lever being pulled in.

Years ahead of their time...   :(

hairygit:
The idea is that you CAN start in gear, but ONLY if the clutch is pulled in or in neutral. Chances are your K1 has a later switchgear fitted by a previous owner, as I seem to recall they started fitting the "Safety circuit" from K3 onwards.

royhall:
Americans, you have to make allowances. They treat their entire population like they are thick. ::) ::)
Disconnected mine on the F2 as its a pain in the arse.
