Re: Only starts when hold clutch in
Could be the neutral switch, does the green neutral light work? If it does, could be bad neutral diode.

That's what I was thinking. Something happened and now the bike thinks it is in gear before starting.

Re: Only starts when hold clutch in
If the neutral switch diode fails open, it can cause this to happen. Either the diode is missing, or it has failed.
