    Has anyone found a set of electrical drawings that would allow the me to override the starting only in neutral default. Kickstand safety is fine but stalling on the trail and then looking for neutral is no fun.

    I'll have to try it again but I'm pretty sure I've killed it at an intersection before (I'll blame it on no MOSS update) and started it in gear

    You can't just pull your clutch in and hit the start button? Pretty sure I've been in gear, killed it, pulled the clutch in and started.

    The bike will start in gear if:
    1) your clutch is pulled in
    AND
    2) your kickstand is up

    If you are in gear and the bike thinks your kickstand went down, the bike quits. Sounds like your clutch switch is suspect.

    Nope, I just tried it again. It will only start in neutral with the kick stand up. It was always like that since I bought it. Is everyone else different?

    Did you fully squeeze in the clutch lever? Sorry for the stupid question.

    I had mine refuse to start ONCE in gear with the clutch pulled in - had me scratching my head for sure. It's never done it again, but yes - you probably have an issue with the clutch switch or wiring to it.
    It should start in gear with the clutch engaged and sidestand up.

    Took it to the dealer and it surprised him also. He tried starting a Strada in gear, clutch in and it does the same for him. ??? I checked my clutch switch and it's working. Nobody else with this?

    I have had no problem starting mine in gear. I usually leave it in gear when parked on a slant to keep from rolling away. Hold front brake, pull in clutch and start, drive away.

    Did this issue ever get resolved? I dumped my bike the other day and am having the same issue. Any help her would be appreciated.

    Have people done the clutch switch bypass? Does it work? If so, can you give me some direction on how to do this?
