How to allow bike to start in gear without clutch pulled in

Post by 999Gomerz »

Hi All,

My bike is a race bike so it does not have a clutch switch, I want to be able to start the bike when in gear. Obvisouly I will have hte clutch pulled in but as there is no clutch switch i cant tell it this.

Do I just connect the green wire with red that runs from the starter relay (main fuse connector) directly to earth?

Thanks.

If you still have the original loom, where the clutch switch fits onto, you can also connect those two spades together and it will do the same thing.
