My clutch interlock nanny is defeated with no other effects. I defeated it by zip tie ing the switch closed. Easily reversible and no jumper needed.

My '04 is a RoW Australian delivered and have always wondered if the previous owner bypassed the clutch switch or if it came like that from the factory.

RoW FTW!!

That's awesome! I've got to add this to my list of "To do before it goes back on the road"...
