clutch switch question

[stensg]

I have new master cylinders obviously i need the brake switch hooked up but do I need the clutch switch?
08 1125r EBR ecm not sure if that maters

 

[Stillonit]

yes unless you can understand the print and rewire as needed.
why would you leave it out ?

 

[stensg]

I didn't want to have to cut the old wire end off if needed. Might be a dumb question but why does the bike need to know when i pull the clutch?

I haven't had mine attached for over a year. Just have to start it in neutral.

 

[stensg]

I always start in neutral will the bike just not start if in gear?

 

[Kruizen]

No it knows the bike is in gear but doesn't know the clutch is pulled in(purpose of switch).

The other thing I noticed before the EBR ECM, was that at idle it semed to idled a little higher until warm.

 

[stensg]

Sweet thanks much I'll just leave it off and call it good.

From what I recall the clutch circuit raises the idle slightly when you start letting the clutch out on the stock ecm, it's to keep from killing the bike on takeoff.
