Mine only starts in neutral. I know this can't be right. Wheres the switch that closes the circuit when the clutch is pulled in? I thought it might be at the lever. Also how do I adjust my chain?
Any help would be appreciated.

It should start in gear. Check all over the bike for a loose connection or anything along those lines. To adjust the chain loosen the two allen bolts on the axle carrier housing and rotate the bearing housing towards you untill you get the proper amount of tension. Then just tighten the bolts and ride. But make sure you check the chain adjustment after you ride for a few minutes to make sure everything is right.

I don't see how you move the housing because there is no place like my 230 had, but I'll try anyway.
