Be advised that you increase the risk of driving off accidentally at start by just being in neutral. The clutch is a good double safe that you feel the whole time whkle starting where as the gear is just a check in advance that you can mess up.
- mulmen 5y agoI always put the clutch in when starting my car. On the bike I trust the neutral switch, which you are right, I shouldn’t. It had to be in neutral to park but no guarantee randos haven’t crawled on it. So far the switch did it’s job.
