just bought a used 08 B King and it will not start in neutral alone. you have to pull in the clutch lever and then it will start. I know thats not right. also on cold starts it acts like the choke is not activated. once it warms up it runs great

The 2008 Suzuki GSX1300BK B King requires the clutch lever to be pulled in to start in neutral due to its interlock switches for the ignition and starter circuits. The engine can only be started if the transmission is in neutral and the clutch is disengaged, or if the transmission is in gear, the side stand is fully up, and the clutch is disengaged. This safety feature prevents accidental movement when starting.

Cold start issues occur because the engine requires proper fuel-air mixture and sufficient warmth to ignite efficiently. When the engine is cold, it may need additional throttle input (about 1/8 turn) to start. Letting the engine warm up after starting ensures smooth operation.
