My bike ('92) won't start except when it is in neutral. It will not start when in any gear with the clutch pulled in.
Where should I look to fix this?
Thanks,
Bill.

Side stand switch...
clutch switch right under the clutch master ... left hand handlebar :good2:
should be two wires.... one has possibly become disconnected ?
if the switch is bad you can defeat the clutch switch by jumping the two wires together.
Kookaloo!
Clutch switch, like Frank said.... :drinks:
Yeah, clutch switch. I replaced mine several years ago as one of the tangs on the original snapped off. Took the FJ out for a 50 mile ride yesterday to run an errand and blow out some cobwebs. She wouldn't start in gear, either, so I need to look at the switch and connector.
I really need to ride it more, I think the carbs are starting to show the neglect, even though I've got stuff in the tank. Put some sea foam in the tank and went for a few more miles. Maybe monday I'll fire her up again.
It was like slipping into old comfortable shoes. The tires on her aren't what I usually had over the years, so I don't have the confidence in them I used to.
I may as well jump on the bandwagon, Clutch switch!
I get it! The clutch switch.
However, this happened when I had the FJ clutch master cylinder on, and now with the FJR clutch master cylinder, the situation is the same. Might check the wiring for continuity.
I need to find time for all of this - there is so much riding to be done. If I don't ride my other bikes now and then, they all get jealous!
