Hey all track bike has failed to start and ive tracked it down i think to a faulty clutch diode (no continuity as haynes manuel test) anyhow my bike is for the track can i just bridge out the wires or is it needed for more then just saftey circuit as it apears to be? cheers

If you bridge out the diode and have retained the neutral lamp and clutch switch functions then the neutral lamp will illuminate every time you pull-in the clutch lever.

Does your bike start ok when the clutch lever is pulled in but fails to start when in neutral?

Hi Magg cheers for the info, i do have netral lamp im not sure i have the clutch switch anymore i will have to go check later, so it would not cause me any hastles or break anything by bridgeing out the diode wires? as i say its a track bike so im just keen to get it out there. i will go and check if i have a clutch switch or not is it on lever? cheers magg
