another bike question

Post by fish »

For you veteran riders:
I read service manuals at bedtime...CB500X has a "switch" on the clutch lever. I noticed that rubber boot the other.
It has been decades since I owned a motorcycle.
So, what/why a switch there? To prevent over revving??

Same reason your scooter has a switch on the sidestand.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

How about to keep you from starting it in gear with the clutch engaged
