Neutral Switch

[Martin6]

Hi,

My neutral switch is bright when the bike's in neutral, dim in 1st and 2nd and extinguishes further up the 'box. I've searched on here and checked the wiring under the engine, which looks ok. I thought I would remove the switch and clean it, but with the locating screw undone, it will not budge. Is there a knack to getting it out?

Thanks, Martin

From memory, with the bike in neutral, once you have taken the screw and locating tab off (and wiring eye screw) the switch should pull straight out - but the rubber o ring does hold it in firmly

The switch has two flat sides. Grip with a pair of long noise pliers, twist to break the seal and pull.

Thanks. Will do.

I'll look at this at the weekend. I did notice the neutral wire should be held from dangling by a small retainer on the bottom of the motor. Mine has corroded and no longer holds it. Does anyone have a part number for that, please?

Thanks,
Martin
