neutral light trouble

Post by jasondo »

The neutral light on my 04 1150r does not work until the bike is warmed up. Usually 10-15 minutes of riding and then it works. Any ideas what to check??

The switch lives on the back of the transmission and has a plug (two pole pin type), that plugs into the harness. If your lucky the plug is corded and just needs to be cleaned. If that is not it my guess is its the sw itself. I believe you can change it without removing the transmission.

It also could be the light socket on the panel is a bit corded.
