Bike won't start (and I did to fix)
Here is a heads up if you might be changing your hand grips (for me it was on my 48).
After I changed the grips on my 48 (from stock to black diamond), I noticed I no longer could start the bike in gear (with the clutch pulled in). It seems, at least on my bike, the neutral safety switch on the hand grip was not fully engaging from the cluth lever due to the larger circumference of the replacement grip. I applied a small rubber shim with double back tape to the perch on the clutch lever that engages the switch and as all is fine...
Just wanted to save someone from I went through (about 5 minutes of saying "WTF the bike won't start")
