ok, so my bike started fine.. running in neutral. I pull the clutch, put it in first and started to move... and she died. No worries, maybe she wasn't warm. I did it again and she died, again. After a couple more times I got smarter... I let the clutch out so slowly I could tell it was the contact for starting opening that killed the motor. Experimenting with slow release and sure enough... let the clutch out while in gear and dead, let the clutch out in neutral and she keeps running. So, I pulled the plug from the clutch, shorted it with a paperclip and I could ride back to the office. This was at lunch today. Back at the office I tried to recreate the problem but after an ignition switch on-off-on the problem disappeared. I'm back to normal wiring again. so hmmm... is this a sign that something is about to go out?
