problems starting???

[braingetter]

I have trouble sometimes starting it up i have to maneuver the clutch handle back and forth to find a sweet spot just to get it to start.. it takes minutes sometimes just to get it fired up.. Any suggestions what could be going out?? I am a noobie to this, I am a general mechanic but this is my first busa. Thanks god bless

I have no mechanical apptitude, but sounds to me the clutch sensor that detects whether clutch is engaged or not is going bad. Sorry not much help.

If the clutch lever is tight on the pivot, put a clutch switch on it.

sounds like clutch switch ( located under lever ) try bypassing it , see how that works .only as a temp measure though
