Somehow in my replacement of the handlebars I lost the post that contacts the clutch lever.  I swear I missed this for about a week where I couldn't figure out why my bike wouldn't start.  The wiring was right, I just kept second guessing everything else till I checked this out.

Anyways, I have the wires bridged all the time currently.  I am just curious if there is any adverse effects?

The only known one is obviously I have to keep in mind to only start in Neutral or have the clutch in (duh) as the current wiring setup won't fix a stupid start.
