Issue with 2008

Hello all

My 2008 semi-automatic is acting up. Unfortunately only with me and never with my mechanic. When the key is turned the display comes up, can hear the fuel pump, press M, then press starter and nothing...although I do hear the pump again. And yes it is always in neutral. This occurs intermittently.

Thinking solonoid or starter drive although that is not showing up when it's hooked up by the mechanic (probably because it doesn't fail for him).

Any suggestions

Thanks

Try using the button on the left handlebar instead of the 'M' button.

Could also be bad or mis-aligned Gear Position Sensor (GPS sensor) --- sending wrong signal and making it think you're in the wrong gear.

Even with the neutral light lit I needed to step on the brake to get it to start. Then it would clunk when shifted into reverse. If I knew it was in gear when I started it the shift to reverse was smooth. Methinks the mechanical link might be slightly off.
