Brown is running light. "F" models have it in the headlight. You will also find a brown wire in the rear going to your tail light. That's the rear running light (i.e. tail light on dim when bike is on).

You can start in gear with the side stand up and the clutch pulled in.

Good chance your clutch switch is busted? Try shorting the wires to the clutch switch. Clutch switch is in series with the start button.

Adidas is right AGAIN, bypass the clutch switch, hit the button and BOOM tried turning right over. I know I have another clutch lever/switch around here somewhere too...

Watch my video on clutch levers. Lots of people break the switch because it has to be removed to remove the lever. Most bikes are not like that.

Already watched it haha. Do you have any recommendations on levers that sit a little closer to the bars? They're a bit of a reach for my wife on her bike.

You can get adjustable brake levers. About $25 or so. MotionPro has good quality.

Clutch levers not adjustable unless....
a) You buy LSL for $125 which is the only compatible adjustable lever
b) or you change the perch to sv650 or Honda H4 or something else so you can buy cheap (if you wish) adjustable clutch lever.

If clutch switch is busted, and yu have the old one with a tiny PC board and parts that fall out, cut the wires at the PC board, add spade lugs and install the newer switch. It fits in there the same. Be sure you orient it the correct way so clutch IN is switch on, clutch OUT is switch off. They can go in backwards.
