i have a 2006 cbr600rr


so i saw that with the clutch in, the kickstand up and in first it wont start...it will only start if i have it in neutral..it worked fine before i had it garaged for a month and before i had starting issues (Just needed a running start)..but does any one have any ideas...i havent really messed with it js yet...but if any one can shoot some ideas before i take a look that would be great.... thanks in advance Josh R.

 

I would suspect your kickstand safety switch. It is located right at the top of your kickstand. I would check it to make it didnt become unplugged. Also, make sure its adjusted properly. that is the most common thing.

Also, you have a clutch safety switch that is located on your clutch. Check to make sure its connected. I'm not sure of any adjustment for this one though.

 

probably...i will check on that tomarrow.....thanks...ill post tomarrow onthe out come...

I'm pretty sure my 04 600rr has never started in first and it's not supposed to... not 100% but fairly sure

 

+1 on the sidestand switch - I've seen it happen before, a number of times.
They stick sometimes, too.

 

if that was the issue, wouldn't it cut the engine as soon as it was put back into gear? he didn't mention that issue

 

so i took a gandwe on the clutch lever saftey plug and it was connected js fine...im not really sure where the connection is to the kick stand .....everything looked connected but im not really sure what im looking for when looking at kick stand.....also it doesnt shut off when running and in gear.......

thanks

yeah if it was the kickstand you could start it in neutral and as soon as you went into gear it would die.....it sounds like the clutch leaver switch if it wont start in gear with the clutch engaged i would replace that first.....couldnt be much more then that.....thats the only two devices breaking the circut to the starter....and if it starts in neutral then u know its not the starter button....

 

ill try that...one question i have is ...do you recomend a shop to put it in or is it pretty simple to install? im no mechanic but i know more then the basics...but i kno nothing about electrical....

thanks

You could do this yourself, its not hard to replace switches, or wires, just remember the clutch switch may require the lever to come off to get it out. I know my bike's safety switch is like that.
