i have a 2004 gs500, i'm having a problem starting my bike, i can pull in the cluch and try to start it and i get nothing, if i let out the cluch alittle and play with it some by trying to find the sweet spot i call it it will finaly start.. never had the problem all summer until a few weeks ago..now it seems it's getting harder to find the sweet spot.. when i go for a ride i get worried if i take a break somewhere i might not be able to get it started again..not the battery, once i hit that spot it starts with no problem.. i just don't get it..need help please..would hate to take it to the shop for something simple i can fix on my own..
                                                                                thanks.. :dunno_white:

sounds like a faulty clutch safety switch.  you should remove it and clean the contacts.  it is on the bottom of the clutch perch
