Clutch saftey bypass at startup?

Do you guys know a way to start my 08 Speedy without having to pull the clutch every time?

I was thinking there is a bypass that someone did but I also don't want it to affect my ECU.

It would be easy to measure the switch operation that is on the lever assembly near the clutch and short it out. But why? It is a safety feature and a minor inconvenience. One that stops you starting the bike in gear and risking a drop.

I agree with Russ here. I don't suppose your next question will be; "how do I bypass the kick stand safety switch?"

I had to do that when i replaced a clutch lever and forgot the bushing at the pivot. There is a wire that goes into the lever housing, use a small screwdriver to disengage the tab thingy and pull the wire.
