I did 3.
While doing the hub mod, I also repaired my clutch lever start switch. I had ordered it a while back and just let it lay. Install went easy, remove lever, push wires through hole, push switch home. Reverse my bypass wiring at solonoid .Upon test startup, I noticed it would still start in gear, with clutch lever out? I removed lever again, held switch in , and no start in gear. The problem was the switch goes a little too deep in the hole, only bout 1/8in. The switch was such a tight fit, i just backed it out a short amount and now its fine. Would like to know what the problem was? Did the oem lever have a raised pad to push switch? Or because this is actually a brake switch, was their a slight difference in length?
Was raining yesterday, and now also, when I finished the clutch install, so no test ride yet. But I did start it in shop, revved it until it would idle, it did seem to go into 1st without the cold oil gear grinding noise. Before the mod, until the oil warmed, all shifts were a tad rough. Hope this cures that. Maybe test ride later, rain should stop later today.
Ps-im using new stock, unshimmed, clutch springs, no slippage, even with the 836. When friends ride it, lots of complements on easy lever pull.
