Welcome to the DMF!  There is an active Oz Monsters group you may want to pop into and say hi.

As far as your question, you're better off asking in Tech, as I mentioned in your other thread.  I know my bike (695) will start in gear with the clutch in (sidestand up), but my boyfriend's S4R prefers to start in neutral.

Welcome!  You are now a DMFer!
