Title: Neutral light "problem fixed"
Post by: M4RTIN on 11 March 2019, 08:42:28 am: Ok, I have not long ago rebuilt the wife Fazer 6. Now i did not know it was a fault until i did some reading online.
The problem is when the bike is in gear and the clutch is pulled in, the neutral light comes on.
Now i have replaced the clutch lever switch, side stand switch and tried another second hand relay.
So even after doing this the neutral light still comes on when the clutch lever is pulled.
The bike has not got wet and has not been on the road yet.
Any help please would be great as sorting this problem out will keep the wife happy.

You could try checking the connection in the wiring loom and see if that's dodgy.

Disconnect the connector
Bike in neutral
Ignition ON, light should be off, if on the lead between the connector and the instrument panel must be earthing somewhere
Check continuity between the switch terminal and the crankcase, with the bike in neutral, there should be continuity. in gear there should be no continuity. If not check the switch plunger
If the switch is good, check thw wiring check wiring between the connector/starter circuit cut off relay/instrument cluster
Check for battery voltage at the light green terminal on the cut off relay side of the instrument cluster wiring connector with the ignition ON. If no voltage there, check continuity between the connector and the ignition fuse

It was the connector on the neutral switch at the back of the engine. I moved it about and now the neutral light does not come on when the clutch is pulled in. many thanks for the help.
