Regarding the clutch switches:
As you know, there are two of them. The first one engage when you barely touch the lever, and it will disengage the cruise control. In most cases the switch will make contact at such an early stage that the clutch still remains engaged.
The next switch will engage when the clutch lever is all the way in, and this allows for starting the engine when in gear. The switch is adjusted in such a manner that it ensures a total clutch release.
Hence, relying of any of these two switches would be a bad idea. Th CC release will engage way too late for a smooth takeoff, and the in-gear-start bypass switch will engage way too early...
You may be right, but I’m pretty convinced that the poison of the clutch lever is what releases the hill hold. I might have another play later in the day.
The only reason I’m analysing it is because I’d like to understand how it works. I rather think that Winjar & Knutk & Micko are similarly interested.
As far as using it, I couldn’t agree more, just go do it.
I think there must be a physical difference in the way it’s implemented between the 1200 and 1250 or the 1200s would have the same level of smoothness by now with a software update.
Careful chaps, Hill Start love is the thin end of the wedge - soon you'll thinking keyless is a good idea.
I think both are ace anyway.
I love keyless too, since my 15 plate GSA. Wouldn't want it without now
