2016 Freewheeler.
Will only start when in neutral - - I also tried to start in gear, while pressing on the foot brake. Yes, clutch is pulled.
Did a look on line, and found that could be a problem is the control unit on left handle bar...but they said that cruise control would not work as well -- not my issue, as cruise control works. All functions on this control unit work.
Was also told that some model years were set this way.
Any body know?
Thanks,
