Wink Clutch Safety Switch Replacement

I snapped my micro-switch when swapping levers. I fixed it and forgot about it.

time passes

me complaining, "Why do I have to be in neutral to start my bike"? A bit of troubleshooting later I find the switch pin is gone. Ordered a new one.

learn from my way of error.

A jumper wire bypassing the switch would have been cheaper and more reliable.

I agree. I tried a number of jumpers, from different points, but none worked. I Googled and Youtube a few searches, to no avail.

Disappointing, the new switch changed nothing. it still must be in neutral to start. Maybe it's a bad new switch, I hope to test it this weekend. and/or come up with a jumper solution as suggested.

Yes, the neutral switch is by the kickstand, the safety switch is the one by the clutch lever.

I guess that's why I'm confused. No matter what you do with the switch on the lever its not going to change anything about starting in gear. Am I missing something?

I bypassed my safety's years ago, I can start mine in gear with the clutch lever in or out.

I want to be able to start in gear, with the clutch lever pulled in. As it stands, the bike must be in neutral, regardless of clutch lever position. Before and after replacing the switch, noting changed.
