Can someone do a sanity check for me as I'm sure my R12RT LC used to start in first with the clutch pulled in, it's now only starting if I put it into neutral.
I have several bikes, plus I work with bikes so I'm not sure if I'm misremembering :D

Re: Starting in 1st
Depends on if you have cruise control or not
And it's just one screw to swap it
I will post more when I'm not in bed

Re: Starting in 1st
This is the one you need then
https://www.motorworks.co.uk/clutch-mic ... 609-1.html
BMW dealer was going to charge me £55 which is a good price but for ease I just got one delivered with my service kit
There is a small T8 screw that comes out then the switch will come off and fitting is reverse of removal (I sound like Haynes)
There is a locating peg for it to go in to too so just make sure it's in that
