Apologies if this has been posted before.

Does anyone know if disengaging the clutch switch start will cause me any technical issues? This means I don't have to hold the clutch in to start the bike. I know that it's there as a safety device, but the bike still won't start in gear with the side stand down, or start in gear without the clutch lever pulled in (so from a safety perspective should be fine) but does anyone know if it will cause any 'speed limiter' issues (or other rumours I've heard)?

Basically, the dealer fitted my SV with an ASV clutch lever ('cos I find the OEM lever span too wide for my hand). As the lever was positioned too high (so my wrist was crooked and it was starting to give me serious cramp everytime I pulled the clutch lever in), I adjusted the clutch position downwards. Unfortunately, this seemed to do something to alter the distance between the 'plunger' on the clutch switch start and the little plastic 'brick' that pushes the plunger in when the clutch lever isn't pulled in. I tried adjusting it back and every which way, but basically the little plunger isn't coming out all the way, so the bike won't start even if I pull the clutch lever in hard.

I know I need to get the dealer to sort it out, but I am off to Scotland on Friday and I seriously doubt he'll be able to get any parts in in time. So will it cause me any issues if I disengage the clutch switch start temporarily till I get back?!

Thanks
