Anyone know how to disconnect the neutral switch, so the bike can be started with tranny in gear?? I've had the bike do a hiccup when letting the clutch out from a stop, and killing the motor in an intersection. Adds to the thrill factor of the ride, for sure. It would be much safer if I could start the bike without having to go to neutral first. |

Maybe I'm misunderstanding.. but you should be able to pull the clutch in and start it in gear?? From the Manual.... Buell motorcycles feature a starter interlock. Before starting the engine, all the following conditions must be met. * Engine OFF/RUN switch on right handlebar control group must be in the ON position. * Clutch lever must be applied (pulled-in) before starting motorcycle in gear. Note that it is not necessary to apply clutch lever before starting the vehicle in neutral. |

Same here. In fact, the Buell doesn't even have a sidestand cut off feature. I love that because they are prone to get gunked up and fail. |

Mine starts in gear as well (not that I've ever stalled it unexpectedly)... Of course that is with the clutch pulled in! |

Mine won't start unless it's in neutral even w/ the clutch pulled in. I've had the same problem stalling in traffic and needing to get into neutral to get started again. If there's a way to bypass the neutral sensor, I'd sure like to know it. |

Uh, yeah Frank, the clutch is that lever on the left handlebar. |

Sounds like your clutch switch is kaput. Take it to the dealer for a fix. |
