    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Starting in Neutral

I assume there is some kind of safety mechanism that keps my GS1100gk from starting unless the clutch lever is pulled as I cannot start without doing this when in neutral. Is this correct? Can I override this? The choke lever is gone and I must choke it using my free hand (no free hand when I have to pull the clutch lever). Would love to find a choke lever but, have not been able to do so. TIA
 
well you can cut and connect the wires that go to the clutch safety switch or you can get a good old fashioned cloths pin and stick it in the choke lincage to hold the choke on. when the engine warms up you clip the cloths pin on the clutch cable.
 
Thanks Focus

Thanks Focus

Thanks. This bike is the latest model year that I have owned. Guess I'm a dinosaur. Time to get with the program, I guess. I think I'll try to find those wires and take that route.
 
No need to cut any wires. :shock:

Follow the wires from the clutch switch into the headlight housing. Remove the wires on the switch side from the wires on the main harnes side of the connections. Re-connect the wires on the main harness side to each other. Now you don't have to pull the clutch in any gear.

Take this as a warning, IT WILL NOW START IN ANY GEAR. :shock:

Be careful, make sure it's in neutral before hitting the starter button.
