Re: [emrat:4243] Bike won't start after washing

That's why I suggested the clutch lever switch.  I like to keep mine close to the bars, but have run into this with both the V-Strom and the Thruxton.  Just let them out a click and it was fine.

No, more of a user error to be honest.  I replaced the levers myself with shorties and didn't do the adjustment properly.  Not Triumphs fault in the least.

We had a situation with our Street Triple where it would only start in Neutral, regardless of whether or not the kickstand was up or down.  

The problem ended up being an issue with the clutch switch.

This sounds like a potential problem with your side-stand switch.  You may want to check the plunger operation.  Feel free to swing by the shop if it's still acting up and we can take a quick look in the parking lot for anything easy.

My Speedmaster used to do that occasionally too, only start in neutral. I think the washing was just a coincidence.

So the bike wouldn't start with the kickstand up and not in neutral. So, I put it in neutral and everything starts fine. Not sure what happened, or if I'll have problems down the road, but that's where I'm at.

 

ps - I have no idea where my kill switch is, or even if I have one. :)

I'll confess to accidentally hitting the kill switch at different times and then wondering why the bike will not start!

One precaution that I take prior to washing a bike is to put black electrical tape over the ignition keyhole, just to make sure that no water gets into the ignition switch.  I think I learned that trick from Peter Sharp . . .
