How to get neutral safety switch back in place?
« on: April 22, 2007, 11:48:33 AM »
Bike: 77 CB750K

I removed the neutral safety switch from the bottom right side of the motor and now I can not get it back in.  It came out rather easily but when I try to put it back in it just stops.  I tapped it with a hammer and block of wood but nothing.
What is the secret?

thanks

The sides of the switch also serve to hold the shift drum in the correct position. As mcpuffet said, moving the gear lever will move the shift drum around and back into re-allignment.

I had the motor on it's left side and the shaft slide just enough to block the switch.  I tipped the motor level and it slid right in.
thanks for the help
