Neutral Light (Read 238 times)

Beagle Full Member Offline 1998 Suzuki Savage Posts: 217 Ohio Gender:	Neutral Light 04/19/13 at 07:19:42 So, my neutral light isn't working anymore and I checked the bulb to make sure it wasn't blown or anything and it's OK but no green light. The motorcycle runs fine though without it being on and it's not a life or death thing but I was wondering if anyone knew what might be causing it not to light up? What can I say? I like pretty lights!

This wire should show that it is grounded when in neutral...and open when in the other gears.

That's actually not a bad idea. My bike lost the neutral light the same day the side stand safety switch died... at roughly 2 months ownership. I've had the bike a bit over 15 years, never missed having a functional light.

Don't miss the turn signal or high beam indicators either. No speedometer since 2005... Roll Eyes

No inspections necessary here... Cool
