Weird intermittent problem has happened last two days. Starts in garage fine (neutral). Ride to store near work approximately 45 mins away. Come out of the store, having left the bike in gear and it will not start.
Yesterday, no start. I double checked my kickstand was all the way up, and I let go of the clutch and pulled it back in, fired right up. Chalked it up to random not pulling clutch all the way or kickstand. When I got to work fired up 4 out of 5 times no problem, one I had to double pump the clutch.
Tonight. Stopped to get gas 30 mins into the ride, did not get off bike or put stand down. Started no problem. Rode another 30 mins stopped at store, came out. No start. Tried stand, tired clutch twice each. Put it into neutral, starts right up, put in gear still runs (with clutch pulled in).....Get to work 3 out of 5 times no start in gear. Same thing, put in N start, drop into gear, still keeps running.
Going to shotgun a clutch switch at it, but just thought I would ask if there is anything else I should check before I make an order for parts and pay shipping?
