Charon, I've made the same mistakes everyone else does. That's why I trust myself to delete the switches.

LouSiana, not every Savage works perfectly. Many of them will catch a false neutral either going into 1st or coming out of 1st gear into 2nd. There have been a few on this and the old forum over the years that would hang up between 2nd and 3rd and turn the neutral light on.

My Savage is out in the barn to rot until I get around to finishing the repaint and rewire. Safety switch deletes worked flawlessly from 1998-2011. No neutral light since sometime in 2005. Pulled the handlebar switches last year in favor of toggles and a relocated start button. Ran out of interest to finish it.
