I shut my bike down in gear only when buying gas because my bike crunches horribly if it is put in gear after a short stop, so I start it in gear at the gas station only. DAMFINO!

I'm very "old school" too! So old school, that I once met Ben Franklin!

However, being old school where none of the bikes had any kill switches, kickstand switches or clutch lever switches. I got used to getting on the bike, making sure it was in neutral and then hit the starter button (or in the older days, hit the kickstarter)!

However: my question: If one bypasses both the clutch safety AND the kickstand safety (which I intend to do on mine), why would one ever want to bypass the neutral safety, and thereby rendering the neutral light inoperable?

I don't believe anyone has suggested bypassing the neutral light when it is functioning properly.....the reason I posted the information on how it functions and how to bypass it - is that it could fail while you are a long way from home......and you may need to bypass it so you can get home!

I was just racking my brain as to why one would want to do it! However I did appreciate your instructions on all of them (I even copied to my hard drive for my bike) as I always appreciate knowing how things are supposed to work, and how to bypass them to make them work the way they really should work!!
