Check your wiring going into the switch. I about replaced it, then I realized I'm an idiot and one of the wires came loose when I had the clip-ons off. Don't know how much Honda will want for that switch, but Granger or someone like that may have the same switch for a lot less. It would just take some digging. I guess this is probably a normally open switch.

 

Just reporting back on mine, it turned out to be the clutch electrical connectors weren't ..... well... um.... connected . I figure they became disonnected in the process of strapping the bike down when I bought it from the previous owner. Simple fix and knew it had to be something like that LOL. As mentioned, check your wiring and connectors .

 

Hmmmm mine is only starting in neutral now also. I'll have to check said connection when I get home.

 

mine goes back and forwd, i just be happy when it strts that i dont check why ?

 

I think mine has been disabled. it starts in any gear, clutch in or not. brother tried to fire it up and he's not as bike savvy as I am, kinda scared him a little the time i had forgotten to put it in neutral when i parked.

 

Forgot to post what I found on this. Everything was plugged in and I couldnt figure it out. After a few days I remembered that I changed the levers about the same time the problem started happening. I removed the aftermarket (found on EBAY) lever and compaired it to the stock one and sure enough it was slightly different. I put the stock one back on and it started in gear. I put the aftermarket back on and you guessed it, no start. There is very little difference but I found a fix. I had adjusted the lever closer to the bar because, well, thats how I like them. Just for the hell of it I adjusted the aftermarket lever out further and now it start in gear.
