    Would anyone know why my bike only starts in neutral? I know that it has the safety thing that the stand has to be up, maybe it's faulty? Because every now and then it'll start in gear but lately it hasn't been

    I'm not familiar with the Hyosung, but if you started your bike while engaged before, and now it doesn't start anymore. I would suggest you to check the side stand sensor.

    - For safety reasons, the bike only starts with the stand down if it's in neutral.
    - If the bike has a gear engaged, the stand has to be up.
    - If the bike is engaged, the stand is up, and the bike does not start when you hold the clutch, then the sensor is not working anymore, and the ECU believes the stand is still down.

    It should be easy to located the sensor on your side stand. Try to clean it with degreaser and see if the bike starts again.

    Figured out that there was some slack on the clutch cable - reason it wouldn't start in gear
