Clutch Bypass Question

Post by stranger255 »

Hello!

Hoping this hasnt been asked before as I couldnt find a post with the same issue.

I have a ZXR 400 L1 race bike which has had the clutch switch removed but not bypassed.

On the wiring diagram am I correct in thinking that the 2 blocked connector after the neutral switch should be where the standard cable plugs in to a bullet connector and then to the two pin?

I have tried bridging the wires just before the 2 pin connector and I cannot get the bike to start in gear at all which is a pain when i managed to stall it in the pits.

Could anyone offer some advice? Can provide pictures if what I have described is not clear

if your clutch switch has been removed but not bypassed your bike will NEVER start in gear, you need to connect the black wire to the black/yellow wire so the CDI thinks you are always in neutral (this should be a 3-wire plug).

the 2 wire connection near the neutral switch is for the side-stand switch, again you need to bridge the connectors otherwise the bike will think you have kicked your sidestand out...and wont fire.

Ahh brilliant, the 2 pin one appears to already have been bypassed as the bike fires perfectly.

I will now need to go digging for where the hell he has hidden the 3 pin connector!
