Hi my name is Ron I have a 93 Goldwing se I just finished putting led lights on the rims and the bottom of the bike, looks great but now it starts in neutral runs great but when I put it in gear the bike dies, any suggestions thanks Ron
Hi Ron, I would check the clutch interface switch at the clutch lever it sounds as if it is either faulty, broken, come loose or stuck. Some bikes have loads of problems with this beastie. Pull in the clutch lever then try spraying some lube between the lever and the stock and see if you can see the switch plunger move. You might have to remove the clutch lever completely to see this if you do then you should be able to push the plunger in by finger and see it spring back out. The whole switch does in some cases come loose if you look for 2 wires going into the clutch lever stock see it the thing they go into is loose or pushed out, normally they just push back with a slight click. When you operate the clutch lever the switch plunger should move out allowing the bike to start in gear. On my Suzuki you have to operate the clutch lever to start even in neutral. Hope this helps

We had the same thing tonite. thanx to the guy that pointed us in the right direction.
More specificly, if you remove the seat, you will find two black plastic boxes, one on each side. they hold a 30-40 pin connector. the one on the left side (as you are sitting on it) we found one burned connection in the corner of the plug. a green wire. we cut the wire off both sides of the plugs & made a jumper (bypassed the plug) works good, even the cruise works now too.
hope this helps. now we can relax & have some beers EH!!

check the switch on the side stand, the bike is designed so as it cuts off if you select a gear with the stand down,
SOURCE: Engine dies as soon as I put it into gear.
check that the side stand switch works with a multi meter. make sure you havent pulled a wiring plug apart when working in the carbs

Not sure of what kind of lights you used, aside from the possibility you upset some existing wires, if you used lights that are drawing a lot of power, they may be taxing your system too much. Check to be sure where you hooked these up to power, you may have created a loop. Lights are best if they go directly to the battery with a relay to switch them on and off with the accessory.
thanks every one who helped you guys are great prob solved it was the sidestand switch
