HI , I own a XV virago 250 1993 model , I have starting problems . I can only start the bike in a particular sequence , ignition on , cluch in , put into 1^st or 2^nd ( Out of neutral ) , lift stand up , back down , back up and it will start . Now ive checked continuity on the kick stand and its ok , and I have checked continuity on the clutch switch and its ok . If I try to start bike when stand is down and in neutral ( Neutral light comes on ) I have no spark . And when I get the bike running putting the stand down will kill the engine , and the other thing to prove the clutch switch is you cannot engage starter motor when in gear and clutch is not in . Does anyone have any ideas .Thanks

I'd say that even though the neutral light is working, the signal from the neutral light is detached from the ignition module?
