I have checked the switch on the clutch side and seems to be okay. Each time I try to start in gear, it just does nothing. In neutral it starts. Anyone know where else to try?

Is your kick stand up or donw when you try ?? I know you probably know but it has to be up, just thinking sounds like something I'd forget..Sally

Hey there,
Thanks for the reply. The kick stand is up in all cases. Must be a switch somewhere. If you have any other ideas along the way, please share your findings.

Hi Stephen:
Trikeman II here, I have the same problem with my GL 1800, but it is a trike, no kick stand. I hope some one knows what to do out there.
Have a wonderful day.

Re: 1800gl won't start out of neutral
Was the side stand switch left on the bike after the conversion? I am pretty sure that the trike converters don't remove that switch, too complicated. The switch may be the problem for you and the OP.trikeman II wrote:Hi Stephen:

Happy Thanksgiving to All
I found the problem was an inopertive switch at the clutch, installed and new one and works fine.... Thanks to All who helped me on this one.
