Default Starting in gear

My 02 will only start if the bike is in neutral. When i took it to get inspected the Honda mech said as long as the kickstand is up you should be able to start the bike in gear. is there something wrong with my bike?

You do have the clutch pulled, right?

I had a smart *** comment ready, but I realized your just trying to help. Yes the clutch is in.

?????Maybe your clutch is about to die on you? How is it for shifting?

My $.02 --> clutch switch is f'd. Fixable if you're willing to throw the cash at something that isn't necessary.

My 954 will start with no clutch in nuetral... so that's why I'm thinking that.

I thought about that as well, but I'm not sure. If it was hosed then why will it let me start the bike at all?

I don't this that is it at all. The bike will start with the stand up, but it has to be in neutral and the clutch in.

My argument for my idea is that I can start my bike in nuetral with the clutch lever out. My bike does require that the clutch be in to start if the bike is in gear.
