Although saying that, the pictures of 'elysiums levers are the same, and are fitted to his "S".

Perhaps it's the Nakeds that lose out on this.

I'll try mine, if they require modification may send them back as they arrived with imperfections.

They dont.
Also there isnt enough metal on the lever to make full contact with the switch soooo.
Atm im looking to sit a small switch somewhere near the clutch:
position 1- clutch disengaged
position 2- clutch engaged - my understanding is it wont effect fuelling on the go and when stopped itll be in neutral so that to wont effect fuelling

Can always remove and put back original switch to go with original levers is need be.

Can you not just completely bypass the clutch switch at the loom?

You can but i thought even doing this messed up the fueling by making the bike think it had the clutch in the whole time?
Can anyone confirm this?

On a curvy I'm damn sure it makes no difference, on a pointy I'm fairly sure.
I was under the impression the clutch switch was purely for sidestand goons.

But still wait for confirmation!

That link says it all.
So either finding a switch gear with a plunger rather than a push switch or just wiring in some billet connectors and a small switch.

well just ridden back from bristol to sheffield in 2hours 50 so i can't say i noticed any difference
tho mine's got a TRE fitted but to me it just makes sense that it's just to stop it fallin off the stand if started in gear...
i just took the switch of the lever and left it in on position and taped it up for the mo
for a more permanent solution i'll drill a series of shallow holes in the lever to make the groove for the switch.....
