clutch switch works ok now

The clutch switch does have some amount of adjustment
as mentioned in an earlier posting. The problem I
originally had was that the engine would not crank
while in gear and the clutch handle pulled in. The
1/16 to 1/8 adjustment isn t much, but apparently
seems to be all you need. I pushed the switch as far
forward as it would go. This will theoretically cause
the engine to start with less pull on the clutch
handle. Once that was done, I could crank the engine
in gear while pulling in the clutch lever with arm
cramping force (Ouch). I noticed that the flanges on
the Pro-Grips were interfering with full travel of the
clutch lever. I trimmed off the flange just enough
to allow full travel and - BAM! the engine cranks
when the lever is depressed and in gear.
So if any of you KLRers are having the same problem as
I was, check the switch position and check for grip
interference.
This egroup is great.
