Hey everyone

Please could someone advise me of my problem,my neutral light wont come on hence only start with clutch in,i have replaced the switch cleaned the wire changed the bulb and stand switch and clutch/start switch works,looked at wiring diagram where light green wire goes and it goes into the junction box where there is a starter relay built into that if im right could this be the last place to look befor i shell out more money or is there a way i can bypass it

Thanks

Try that again, but make it clearer and think about what you have typed before you post it.
Throw in a bit of grammar and punctuation too.
Oh and "corporate bullshit phrase speak" doesn't go down all that well here.
None of this "please advise" crap. :smt018

as the post goes,my neutral light on my dash isn't on, so i checked the following,Bulb,changed neutral switch,traced wires back to junction box seem ok,i looked in the online wiring manual and it states the Light green wire goes to junction box and thought maybe that's the fault but aint a motorbike mechanic,also after bike has been started with clutch in and stand is up it will allow the bike to carrying on running but wont do this with the stand down and clutch out,does this help better :)

My neutral light on my dash isn't working.
I've checked the following, Bulb, neutral switch, traced wires back to junction box and it all seem ok.
With the bike running, and the clutch fully in the bike will keep ticking over.
However, with clutch out, side stand down the bike wont run.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Now that i have sorted that out...

The engine wont run if the bike is in any gear with the side stand down. Its a safety feature, don't worry about it.

Can you click through the gears?
If you have a paddock stand, get the back wheel off the ground and test it.

I'm thinking buggered selector forks at the moment.

I know you said you have checked the bulb, but have you tried a new one?
