Hmmm, interesting. Well I guess that explains a few things. The last
Convert I worked on had a hole drilled in the ball end of the clutch
lever and a large split ring was in there. You could pull the lever back
and flip the ring around the handlebar grip. I thought it was kind of
neat, but figured it was some sort of bodge. Since there is a "neutral"
light on the dash, I figured there must be a neutral in the tranny. I do
know that pulling in the clutch lever allows the engine to start. Like I
said, its not like you really need a neutral.

Thanks, Patrick.

the
internal shaft. It either slides into low or it slides into high
without
stopping in between.
