Question -
My 92 goldwing SE will not start if I hold the clutch in. However, it starts fine if I shift it into nuetral. I checked the clutch switch - no power from either wire. Relay seems fine too. Is their a separate relay for this circuit? Wires all look fine too. Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Hi dan,

Do you have the Service/Repair Manual for your GL? If so, which brand of manual? What is the ISBN # of the manual? See first page or two inside front cover for ISBN.

I can help with the diagnosis, but need to know the above.

To save time, please add a email address as requested. I may need to return tech files to you.

Sorry, I don't have a service manual, yet. Any recommendations as to which one I should get? My email address is durbank@adelphia.net  

Answer
Order manuals from www.bikebandit.com, www.clymer.com, www.amazon.com, ebay, and check your local library. My local library has MC manuals and they don't mind if the books get oily/greasy.

Get a manual and we'll go from there. It will pay for itself with the first repair/maintenance you perform.

Respectfully,
