Ok I was checking out my clutch lever action earlier and discovered this two wires hanging loose, appears to have some sorta plug/switch type thing at the end? Where does it go or is it meant to be there? Slightly concerned"¦"¦..sorry for all the questions lately but this is my first Italian bike and it keeps throwing me little quirks which I am unsure of, this of which is one"¦"¦.answers would be appreciated, cheers dudes. :)

Looks like the clutch switch.It clips onto the body of the clutch master cylinder with the two little pegs.

Thanks mate, I found where it was supposed to go and plugged it back in although it does seem kinda loose and will no doubt come out again. What does this actually do and could it be the culprit of my clutch/neutral/first gear selection problems? I 've not heard of a clutch switch before now? I really am a noob at Italian **** lol
If it didnt ride so well, I'd almost be missing my Zed Thou!!! Never a days worry with it :) I love my T tho"¦..makes the Zed feel like a fast shoppin trolley, really!!

The clutch switch is part of the safety cut out system to stop you riding off with the sidestand down and/or starting the engine in gear.
Its got nothing to do with selecting 1st gear and neutral.
 
Ahhh ok. Thanks dude. I hadnt thought about the safety issue when I was wondering what a clutch switch might be….makes sense now tho, we'll see if it stays in next ride or not, at least I'll know to look for it now. Thanks mate
