Then the bike should think the clutch lever is being pulled in all the time.Seems the lever is not depressing the switch plunger (no click).

After many retries and inspection, I moved the lever out a bit. It clicks. It starts as it should. Yay.
Well, in all fairness to the designer, the switch works very well with the clutch lever that it was intended to be used with. We can't fault the designer because a different non-oem clutch lever, one that is adjustable and can be adjusted to the point that it no longer activates the switch, was substituted for the original lever that was designed to work with this switch. We read of very few failures with these switches. Considering that they are a mechanical switch, and how often they are actually activated during the life of the motorcycle, I think that they hold up rather well.Who invented the switch anyway ? They have a lot to answer for.
What a ridiculous inventions - a device that causes an instant roadside breakdown.
But it's not a roadside breakdown... just put the bike in neutral, start up and ride away.It can share a bit of space with the number of anecdotes where I've suddenly had something stop working.

Sorry John, I guess our humor gene is not working very well today. "Knowing" you, I knew there something about your post that I didn't get.My attempt at humour seems to have failed.
You can't just let the clutch out to restart when you're rolling, presuming you pulled it in?Once or twice I've had the bike conk out at speed (nudging the kill switch or some other stupid reason), and had to start back up right away. This would have prevented that option and was the reason for my concern.
