Hi all.
I'm a 1500 owner trying to help out a friend with a 83 1100 with a starting issue.
This may be a stupid question but...
when starting a 1100 in neutral is it normally necessary to pull in the clutch lever for the starter to work, or should it be like the 1500 and not be necessary?
Trying to figure out if this is the norm or a symptom of his starting issues.
Thanks.

In Neutral clutch should not be necessary. Is the Neutral Light coming on?
