Topic: Where should the green/red wire be connnected?

[birdy]

On cleaning underneath my 750k2, this wire was dangling, it seems to be a partially armoured/covered cable. The connector seems to have been severed also.
I've been having trouble with the electric start amongst other things. My feeling is it's the earth cable, but I can't see where to connect it to. As the cable has snapped and is shorter, is there a nearer position to attach it?

A green/red cable is most likely the neutral switch wire (ground for neutral light actuation). The switch is located in the lower crankcase (underneath) near gear change/cover.

Thanks.
The cable is coming out of the crankcase, so that end is connected. Where do I connect the other end, which I presume is the earthed end?

It should have a round eyelet on the end - or it's broken. Does your neutral light work? If not this wire connects underneath to the neutral switch with a Phillips head.

Thanks - so I'm looking for a screw underneath the engine that probably still has the round connector attached right?
I'll check the neutral light tomorrow (dark now here in UK). I say underneath the engine as that was where it was hanging from?

This is the neutral switch screw under the tranny cover

If the screw is missing it is an M4 screw about 5mm long.  I just ordered a pack of 100 from McMaster Carr.  Let me know if you need one.  I should have them by Wednesday.

Thanks for the pic; I can take a look now.
Srook- thanks, but I'm in the UK, so postage may be a bit costly.
