where is the clutch switch

[hogweed]

after washing my bike last week and only riding it today ,noticed it would not start ,fiddled with the side stand up and down and got it fired and have sprayed it ,but i would like to spray the cluch switch as well so where is it ?

At the clutch lever.

And if you decide ever to change the levers - careful. It's a wee bit delicate.

Sounds like the voice of experience.

YUP - but I went in delicate to start with. I'm sure I'd read on here (maybe on dotnet) it's easy to damage. ---- Seen worse though.

Thanks for that hint barbagris,it turned out it was not the side stand switch after taking the side stand off and switch and cleaning it ,then taking the clutch lever off again and then cleaning the clutch switch.
The problem was the cheap click and roll levers I bought from Auctmarts1 (Hong Kong) on Ebay ,if the lever was set to any span under five it would not depress the clutch switch so i could not start the bike.I had already had to modify the brake lever to work properly (lucky i'm an engineer) so will now have to alter the the clutch lever but to be fair they have refunded me most of the money now i'm after a full refund .
So be warned when buying cheap levers from auctmarts1.
