clutch lever electrical query

[vadasz1]

Does anybody know what the connector on the clutch lever is for?  It is the one that terminates at the harness with a green connector.

I'm asking because the wires seemed to have come out of the terminals at the lever end and I don't think that it can be repaired, but if it can I will for sure.  Maybe someone has a spare one available or knows how to instruct me on fabing up a new one.

That circuit is part of the starter cutoff safety system.  You can start the bike in gear if the side stand is up & the clutch is pulled in.  There is a small hole on the bottom of the clutch perch.  Use an allen wrench to push up through the hole on the lock tab on the switch - it should pull out of the perch.  You can then diagnose what you need, which is likely a new switch.

Unfortunately, I don't have one, but they may still be available from the dealer if nobody else has one for you.

I chucked mine , the only draw back is I have to put it in neutral to start it, hasn't been a problem for me in 9 years.

Rick, just jump the connector that the switch formerly plugged into, then you won't have to be in neutral to start the bike (if you stall while rolling, or at a light) but you better make sure that clutch is pulled in!!, lol
