I seem to be having intermittant starting problems. Happened a couple of times now. Seems to be either the clutch or side stand cut-out switches as I eventually got her started after fiddling with the switches.

Anyone else had similar issues or had to replace either switch?

My bike will only start with the clutch lever about 10mm out from the handgrip,try starting it with your lever in different positions.Should get it replaced while it's still under warranty i guess but the closest dealer is well lets say,--------------------. :-D :hammer:

Mine will only start with the clutch in the "right" position...soon as it's not -5F with a few feet of snow I'll get it to the dealer. I would guess it's a vendor issue with the clutch switch, seems to be more failures than I would normally expect.
