Hi yep, everything is normal on the bike ignition lights etc it just won't start unless my handle bars are even just slightly to the left. If they are not to the left then all that happens is the head light dims no noise/turn over etc. If I keep my finger on the button and turn the handle bars with my clutch still in it will start and run fine. I have jiggled the wires into the clutch switch etc, still nothing going to take off the switch today put it back on after a clean etc and see if that makes a difference if not will buy a new switch and go from there?
