Something got boogered.
09/25/07 at 20:57:34
 
Okay, ya'll know I just finished rebuilding the FireLizard's engine. Well, I rode it to work today, and rode it home with no problems, but as soon as I got into my drive way, put it in neutral, and suddenly, neutral light goes out, I put down the kickstand and the motor dies. I know it is supposed to die when you put down the stand while in gear, but not in neutral. And now, I can't even get the starter to kick over, I hear a click, (only with kickstand up, and still in neutral) but nothing. I have plenty of juice in the battery.

Most likely the wire from the "N" sensor /switch/ got disconnected. The connector is under the gas tank and if i remember correct it is blue.

Would that keep the starter from engaging even with the stand up and clutch pulled in?

It should not affect the starter.

Apparently something is though. Well, I'll have to take a look at it when I get time, which won't be until next Wednesday.

But any other suggestions of what it could be?

Oh, I just remembered something else. Earlier at work I moved the bike closer to the doors of where I come out and when I started the bike it first acted like the battery was dead, but it did fire up and when I fired it up to leave from work it started normal.

I've had trouble with that big connector under the tank also. Make sure it is tight. Check you battery ground and engine ground. The engine ground runs down by the oil sight glass and can come loose. Luck

Yes, all my lights work, and a good strong sound from the horn.

Sunday evening I'm gonna try all of ya'lls suggestions and try to chase down this gremlin.

I put a switch from a dead dvd player, tiny, no current capacity, microswitch, on the decomp solenoid controller & went to the hot wire under the seat. I can crank mine over with the switch off if I want to, I got tired of the "No Start" crap. It hasnt made me use it in a long time, but its there if I need it.

I believe I found the electrical problem. The wire coming out of the right side engine cover that goes to the neutral interlock switch is broke. Now I just need to get out there and take care of it.

Okay, the wire wasn't broke after all, but it was bare and I believe was grounding against the block. I took a good look at it and found it was still in very good condition, so what I did was wrapped it to keep it from grounding against something.

Since I took the cover off, I have to wait for some more oil to test fire it.
