Update :D just had another mess about with it. found out that if i press the clutch switch in it turns over :) so it will only turn the engine over with the clutch left out and engaged :S

IIRC, you only need to pull the clutch in if the bike is in gear...maybe its a symptom of something else? the bike has a neutral switch by the gear sellector lever, a problem there perhaps?

electrics aren't my thing :D
