R1ffR4ff indicated that you need to bridge the neutral switch in the plug rather than just unplug it....

If the switch contact is closed in the neutral position then by unplugging the loom you are open-circuiting the switch contact telling the system that the bike is not in neutral ( you are actually replicating a broken wire between the neutral switch and the control system). Although details of neutral switch not shown on the wiring diagram it appears to have two contacts, one that closes to illuminate the 'N' light on dashboard and the other to inhibit start if bike not in neutral + sidestand down and and clutch lever not pulled in.

Even if the dashboard light is saying bike is in neutral it is the other contact that will be causing the problem with bike cutting out when clutch lever released.

Were you still holding in the clutch at that point? If you were then it sounds like the starter relay might be the suspect

I'm afraid mine was done before I got the bike and the PO even removed the wires that run to the clutch

I did this on my old Hondas though with just a bit of thick 30 amp fuse wire across the ends of the wire that goes to the Clutch switch

I've never missed this feature

Hi Thanks
Yes I was holding in the clutch.....how would the starter relay affect it?...…..its so weird.....as soon as I let off the starter switch it dies...almost like a kill switch.....will happily run and rev when starter switch held in!..

Sorry I looked at the wiring diagram quickly and thought that relay held the power on to the bike normally, but it is obviously just to turn the starter motor.

When you're holding the button is the starter motor turning the whole time?
