    Has anyone ever wished they didnt have a neutral switch on their bike when it stalled at a green light or in the middle of an intersection? I know someone will bring up the safety premise of the neutral switch but, i plan to disable the darn thing this weekend.

    If your clutch switch is working, then you won't have that issue. Bike will start with clutch engaged in any gear.

    I removed my clutch switch and hard wired the leads and the bike still wont start unless it is in neutral. Guess i didnt something wrong.

    Try opening the wires for the clutch switch. It might be normally closed and there for open when depressed. (Looks that way in my schematic, but can't tell for sure.) Something to try, but doesn't really make sense to be a safety feature.

    I think you are right. I didnt check my schematic correctly, i guess i thought the clutch switch worked like the hand brake. Normally open. Thanks.
