hi all. when i turn the ignition on sometimes the neutral light doesnt come on even when the bike is in neutral. when i pull the clutch in the engine then turns over and the light comes on. any ideas? im thinking the side stand switch covered in crap/corrosion? thanks all. pete

hello mate, could be covered in crap, also, check the bright green wire that goes behind the sprocket cover, it pushes onto a contact and could be covered also causing it to play about with the neutral light.

So give both a clean and see how it goes

If you take em off you can still get the bike to work, i think you just have to join the wires together.

think all kwaks have them - the gpz does, i've heard of them on a zephyr 750, fairly sure the zzr11 I stripped did.
