neutral switch advice
Permalink  
 

yesterday my neutral light went out thinking it was the bulb i proceeded to change it.Unfortunately the bulb holder disintigrated , leaving the wires bare with the copper fittings attached .there is power to the brown wire. The bike will now not start on the starter unless the clutch is pulled in and the side stand up.If the stand is put down engine cuts out.All this is in neutral .So is my problem coming from the neutral switch.If so how can I diagnose this.Can I replace the bulb with an led or 12v between the wires.The problem was not there before the bulb was taken out of the circuit your help would be appriciated

The bulb holder get very brittle with age and I have found it very difficult to get them out without destroying about 50% of them disbelief

I confess that I don't understand what's going on with your TTR confuse

Was your neutral bulb blown? If so, why not solder the leads onto another good 12v bulb and see if that cures your problem?

Here is the wiring diagram for the neutral switch and light - courtesy of Jarrah (I hope you are OK matey - very quiet here without you!)

Looking at it, I don't think that the neutral light has any effect on the starting process unless someone else can correct me? What is the diode doing in the circuit and, in particular what is the blue/white wire running back to the CDi doing?
