This is not a major issue yet but I always like to try and knock a problem on the head from first observation.
As you all know you need to pull in the clutch if starting the engine in first gear (which I very occasionally do).
However, lately if I do try, the engine will not turn over even with the clutch lever pulled right in. Putting it in neutral or even releasing the clutch then trying again usually solves the problem. This is why I think it is not about the bike detecting that the stand is down - although I will check that as well.
I just worry that there is a contact point somewhere that is dirty or failing leading to something more serious.
In words of one - or possibly two syllables could anyone please suggest what to look for and where to look?
Thanks in advance.
