Default Clutch handle question......

The 2 wires that are hooked to the clutch handle, what do they do? My F2 had an after market handle on it, but I have located and installed the original style, now there are 2 electrical conectors and I dont know what they are for...

A set of two wires that are just dangling, are likely for a clutch safety switch that was bypassed/removed. mine has the switch, but its broken. but I've got an 87 too.

Try and start your bike with the kickstand up and in gear. I'm guessing it won't start on account of a switch in there, but its just a guess.

It will start with the kickstand up, but only in neutral.

If by "up" you mean that the kickstand is not being used, the bike should start in gear with the clutch in... might even try to start with the clutch out but I've never tried it.

The wires are for the safety switch, if they are hooked up and working properly the bike wont even crank unless you pull in the clutch and the bike is neutral. There is also a safety switch on the side stand. It will prevent the bike from cranking if it is in gear and the side stand is down. If the bike is running and in gear and you put the side stand down it will kill the engine.
