As the title says really. will not even turn over unless you pull the lever in. ive replaced the switch in the lever and it hasnt worked. my trusty haynes manual has bought me any ideas either? i know its something simple but just dont know what is can be!

any ideas would be much appreciated!
cheers

Can't quite remember but do nc30's only start in neutral OR other gears if the clutch lever is pulled in?

Maybe your neutral switch is faulty.

You could always connect the wires going to the clutch switch so that it is always 'in'.

IIRC nc's wont start in gear unless you pull the clutch in therefore your neutral switch might be playing up hence you cdi always thinks the bike is in gear.

This.

I had the same on my old Fireblade, and I guess the nc30 loom is the same so here goes:

Have a look on your wiring diagram (you do have one, right ) and find the one wire which runs from the neutral switch, to the neutral light, the clutch diode, and the CDI. There are dodgy crimp joins signified by the "blobs" on your wiring diagram. It is a poorly made join, which may tend to fail if water gets inside the tape. What this means is it could still be a fault on that circuit even if the switch + light operate as expected.

On the Fireblade the fault was unfortunately hidden quite well within the loom. Time for a sesh with the multi-meter!

You need to replace clutch diode. Located between reg rec and cdi on same side.

well thats next weekends activities sorted! Thank you guys very much! Ill have a tinker and see how it goes
