Yep,
Hold the brake lever in, hit starter button. Nothing. Shift to neutral...hit start fires right up. So I take that as it has to be in Neutral to start. Maybe they changed the 2001's ?

mikeslaby,

Yes it can be done, and it is very easy. You dont even have to cut any wires, but I did it so long ago I dont remember off hand what I did. I'll take a look at my bike when I get off work today. There is also an easy mod to get 4x4 in reverse without having to press the override button if your interested.

I dug up this old post. It explains what is necessary to do the start in gear mod, and the 4x4 in reverse.

Thanks,
I took the Xpedition out for my first ride last Saturday. I have 26 in Goodyear Mudrunners on it. I love the machine. Never had a manual machine before. Has its advantages. Get it to start in gear and I will be happy. Thanks again
