im looking into a 79 750 that the neutral light stays on is this a sign of any other problems?
the bike has had some other work done to it like frame painted and new tank paint ... seems like it might be a deal if thats not a problem..hes only asking 1k

A short circuit to ground anywhere in the neutral light wiring can cause the light to stay on. Disconnect the wire from the switch ( on the bottom of the engine). If the light goes out, then the switch is bad.
Hope this helps.

Should be an easy fix.  Definitly not a deal breaker if you like the looks and operation of the machine.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
