I just found out how to start my 014 in gear. You have to pull in both the clutch and brake levers at the same time. (just in case you stall at an intersection because your actually in 2ed gear when you though you were in 1st)

Re: starting a 2014 in gear
Are you sure about the break?? My '09 and '11 will start with the clutch pulled, doesn't seem very safe if you have to be at a complete stop to re-start

Why 3 wheels?
because 2 isn't enough and 4 is too many

Re: starting a 2014 in gear
Yes, if in gear, you have to pull in the clutch and apply the brake. It can be either the front of rear brake,doesn't matter.Originally Posted by screwball
Re: starting a 2014 in gear
You can use the foot brake if you are more comfortable than using the lever. The brakes have to be applied in order to start it. Found it the same way stalled at a light wrong gear horns blowing behind me.
Re: starting a 2014 in gear
Might be something new HD is doing that copies the way cars start. The whole pressing brake while starting thing. Though for cars in park.
Re: starting a 2014 in gear
Yep, that is what I do on my 2014...press down on the rear brake pedal.
Not sure if this is a NEW feature but yes, if the bike is in gear it will not start until you pull in the clutch AND activate the brake. Drove me nuts the first time I tried to get out of my garage.

It's clearly explained in the operators manual!
Re: starting a 2014 in gear
"When all else fails, read the manual."
Wait a minute...."Clearly explained" and HD operators manual cannot be used together....kinda like "Obamacare" and "smart".
Re: starting a 2014 in gear
I wonder what MY they started doing that, I know 09 - 10 will allow you to start it in gear with only the clutch pulled in.

Re: starting a 2014 in gear
All that is needed on my 2013, if in gear, is to pull the clutch in.
Re: starting a 2014 in gear
My late 2013 is the same way in gear only need the clutch pulled in.

Re: starting a 2014 in gear
Or it could be something added to the clutch lever keeping it from making the switch. I know folks like to add leather or tassels, these keep the lever from reaching its full motion.
