So i have two interesting issues....

1) the windshield works intermittently going up and down with the switch, most often NOT working. But then some day ill test the switch and itll work for a few seconds. This is not a big deal for me as all since i leave it low all the time. I only figured out cause one day i was riding and some truck had spewed a ton of black smoke so i tried to raise it to have it go around my helmet, and it didnt work.

2), and more importantly for me, i used to be able to keep the bike in first, pull up the kickstand, pull in the clutch and start it. Now nothing happens. I can only start it by putting it in neutral. Not stopping me from riding, but something that should be fixed i guess.

Any ideas of what to check? I have another 1.5 years of warranty, but dont want to give up my bike cause then that means i have to (ugh) drive a car to work.
