Topic: Cb500 neutral indicator.

[vonvendetta]

I have a 72 500 I am putting back together. I would like to use a neutral light but am not sure how to wire one in. I imagine it it's with the wires coming out of the chain cover. Do I wire one end into the wire and the other into ground?
I did try a search but it didn't work.

Green and red wire coming out of sprocket cover is neutral light. Run the other end into your accessories wire and you will be set. Incase anyone else needs to know.

The LG/R wire is a dedicated ground/earth wire for the neutral light...it should only provide an active ground when the gear shifter is moved to neutral position. The LG/R wire connects at the ground casing/socket for the neutral light bulb and at the gear selector mechanism. 
The other part of the neutral light circuit is the switched 12v (Black) wire, providing the required power/voltage to the neutral light bulb.

And it's always worth to RTFM.
In this case it's Honda's fine Workshop Manual for the CB500/550 downloadable from this web site.
It has all the wire diagrams in it that you always wanted to study

I did actually go after that to find which wire it was. :p
