Default Starting in gear? I dooon't think so.

Yo guys. Just messing around on the interwebs and found a video of the 2002 Honda Recon ES Review from ATV TV or something like that. They quoted that the Recon could be started in gear with a pull of the brake lever? Really? Cause last time I checked, there's no electronic switches or anything on the brake levers. Can someone clear me up on this? Thanks. Oh here's a link to the video. He quotes it around 1 min 26 seconds if you want to skip to it. I had to go try it for myself as well, and yet to no avail.

Think about what you posted, and think brake light switch's (clearly seen in Doug's video) ............you might have a Bad Switch or they might have been removed by the PO!

Every Honda Ive seen thus far will start that way, in Gear by pulling the front brake lever.

Hope it helps ya some.
