The wire is perfectly working order as I've grounded the wire to make sure neutral light works on the dashboard this is perfect it's these neutral switches one was brand-new that got completely stuck with copper washer in place the others are used parts and like I say they do work but someone on here or someone had this problem what is causing it it's crazy

Thanks for the reply guys sorry to be pain I'll grab some tonght hopefully the switch ain't gone back so far that it won't come back out because this is like the 4th or 3rd one ☝ very dry when I remove them even tho I clean it them up before putting back inn ill report back I like to complete my threads ��
I've found a bolt that's next to oil filter that hanging down but will not tighting Looks like some one had put black silicone around it to hold up in side very strange
I've got a photo but I'm able to upload from my mobile I don't have a laptop could I email this photo if you guys wouldn't mind putting your email address here or inbox me it I'm just concerned with this bolt orwhere it goes as for the neutral light could someone share the love and how this actually works so far main dealers have said from the inside would not break the switch �� Thanks for the reply guys will get some of that above later

Yes mate that's right I noticebit hanging down the give away I don't know why there was silicon black around of course who ever did the work on the bike must of cross threaded the threads inside and glue it up I'm sure it he fine because nothing's is knocking or sounding odd so more a less I'll luv with and try to rethread but I don't wanna start taken things off and course a problem
If it was a rear wheel bolt or something then yes ASAP BUT it's fine just need more information I've looking on a parts diagram o. Crankshaft remove I'm not to sure I see a blot on the diagram but ain't sure if it's that one mmmmmmmmmm

I think I need to grease this up every time before I ride it



I know what your saying but these switches every time I really give my bike beans they seem to pack why ? I can't just be the only one in the world they keep drying out then the nipple in the switch gets stuck and there's nothing you can do to it to fix x other than change it again bits ridiculous the wiring is perfectly fine is the switch yourself I'll change these many a times they just seems that lots of beans the bike to get really hot I need to avoid switch does not work no more he gets jammed
