    This is a common replaceable item. It isn't super important to fix but is something I find useful in those dire situations.
    Keep your screws from getting stripped. Pick up these special screwdrivers that are perfect for any Philips-head screws. They will not cam-out on you. They literally sell themselves. MUST BUY

    I replaced mine and could not figure out why it still wasn't working. Then I came to this video and you mentioned the kick stand. I completely forgot about the kickstand. All I had to do was lift it , now my bike starts in gear when the clutch is pulled in. Thank you!

    I am very thankful for you man. I mean it. I just snapped off the plastic piece of the switch on my 2020 ZX6R an hour ago and I thought my entire world was over. A new clutch switch is $26.44 and because of you I can do this easily. I'll make a video on it too I think.

    I have a micro switch that may be falling apart and I don't have a replacement yet. Presumably, if you were stuck on the side of the road, you would be able to remove the wiring connector and jump the two connectors on the harness and be on your way. (Being very careful about starting in gear of course.) Great video. Good explanation.

    Should have been smart like you and replaced mine as soon as mine stopped working.
    Instead a month later, I dropped my bike, bent the shifter, then went to ride to work, to find out after I'd shifted into third that I couldn't downshift.
    Almost made it to work, just in third gear, but inevitably stalled it, then couldn't start it again, because I coudln't shift back into neutral.
    Think its time to replace my clutch switch, thanks for the video.

    A related problem that causes confusion is the gear sensor falsely reporting the bike to be in gear when it's actually in neutral.

    • @TheMotorcycleBoss
      @TheMotorcycleBoss  2 місяці тому

      This is true. Fortunately, a simple continuity and resistance test should help anybody narrow down the problem.

      No. It is only really used as a safety switch to prevent the bike from starting in-gear without the clutch pulled in. Keeps the starter from moving the bike.

    Ok so when i pull my clutch in the bike shuts off could that be the switch ?

    • @TheMotorcycleBoss
      @TheMotorcycleBoss  5 років тому +1

      I wouldnt think so. If you are in neutral and pull in the clutch and it dies, seems to be the only reasonable solution tho. It is just a simple switch. So use a multimeter to test the switch and to test if it is causing it, either keep it unplugged and try to ride the bike, or jump the connection with a wire and see if that eliminates the problem. Every bike is different so you will have to test your switch to see if it is always open or closed at rest. The clutch switch at least on my bike, is designed to keep the bike from starting in the event that i try to start it in gear without the clutch pulled in. So if your bike is the same, it shouldnt do anything while you are in neutral. Try that for now. Good luck.

    • @itsromeo2958
      @itsromeo2958 5 років тому

      The Motorcycle Boss okay so i start up the bike and ride for like 20 minutes when im down shifting the throttle would go down to zero it doesn’t happen every time i ride it and when it shuts off i can start it when it’s in gear with the clutch pulled but if i pull on the throttle to rev while still holding the clutch in the rpm would go down to 0 and shuts off i have a 2007 r6 with 5k miles could it be clutch adjustment or throttle position sensor can you tell me what to look for here?

    • @itsromeo2958
      @itsromeo2958 5 років тому

      The Motorcycle Boss and when i check the switch do i check for voltage or resistance? Also my bike starts if the clutch pulled in and in gear ⚙️ and oh yeah the bike functions perfectly if turned on and parked but when im riding and down shifting that’s when it shuts off not every time though from time too time

    • @TheMotorcycleBoss
      @TheMotorcycleBoss  5 років тому

      You are checking the switch for continuity and resistance. You should see no resistance. It's just an on/off switch. But it doesn't seem like that is the issue, from what you are saying, i would think the fuel pump maybe at fault. The throttle position sensor is also a culprit. Yamahas tps' are known to have issues in some years. Grab a reliable multimeter and an accurate measuring cup, grab your service manual, and troubleshoot.
