Stupid mistake--Put bike in Neutral before starting

Here is something to think about. Regardless of pulling the clutch in, put the bike in neutral if it has been sitting for a while before starting.
I pulled the clutch on my little ninja 250 (been riding my 06 C50T), hit the start button, and jumped about 2 feet forward.
So now I will always put my bike in neutral before starting after it has been sitting for a few days (or for the ninja a few weeks).

It's not supposed to do that. You have a bad safety switch.

Even in Nuetral I hold the clutch and brake for starting, for exactly the reason you experienced.

Does "Hai, so desu" mean that is correct in Japanese? At least something to that effect?
the word thingy could also be called an acronym.
