try www.nakedgoldwings.com

however try two places.... the first clean the connections near the starter, probably just a bad connection, or, you can change the switch at the clutch (I did that and it was the other)

when in doubt clane all conections first

The clutch switch is mounted on the bottom of the clutch lever perch. Connect the 2 wires that go to the switch together and see if it will start in gear, with the clutch pulled of course. If it does then replace the switch.

Listen for click when you pull in the clutch lever.
If you don't hear it then the switch is either out of alignment with the tab on the lever, or bad.
Pull back the rubber boot (if so equipped) and have a look while moving the lever.
