bike wont start with clutch pulled in
This weekend I have gravity take me to the asphalt while doing a track day. Now for some reason it wont crank with the clutch pulled in. Put the bike in neutral and clutch out and it cranks and fires up just like normal.
Any one else ever have any issues after putting it one down on a track day? Also anyone have an extra coolant pipe that is on the left side? It must have cracked when it went down. I looked and they are on back order at bike bandit, and I have another track day weekend coming up in 2 weeks. Thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw9yP5U1V8I There is the link to vid of me putting it down. |

The obvious first step is to make sure the clutch switch isn't unplugged or broken.

I checked the obvious. Not broken or unplugged. But I do believe I have it fixed, I took a pvc pipe and bent the clutch handle back out away from the bar. Seems to work now. Not sure why pulling it in neutral wouldn't allow the engine to crank, considering you don't need to pull it in neutral. Oh well 1 gremlin down.
Still not sure about the antifreeze/coolant pipe. I took it off and it only has 2 iddy bitty tacks on it. Almost like it was fused somehow at the factory. It is leaking right at the 90* factory bend/fuse. |
