won't start in gear?

Hmm, OK so maybe I haven't been paying enough attention to things since getting my 2000 KLR a couple of months ago. I would swear that I was able to start in gear with the clutch in but in any case I can't now. Am I missing something here? Also, it does seem that neutral can be a little hard to find sometimes. Could there be a connection? Looking for advice. Thanks and safe riding out there. Dale

I have a 2003 KLR and it will start in gear no problem. The electrics are untouched from the factory. John A17 R1100GS
