Any suggestions for neutral switch trouble?
« on: May 12, 2008, 04:01:56 PM »
Hello all,

I am helping a buddy with his 1979 cb650 and I need some advice from the big dogs  ;)

When the bike is placed in neutral, the green neutral light still does not come on.  Because the neutral light is not on, the bike will not start at all.  I am having him check all of the fuses again but I suspect that it might be a problem with the neutral switch under the engine sidecover.  The bike was running fine last year when it was put away.

Any input is very much appreciated!

this post (and many others that turn up with a search) covers the parts of the circuit that you should be scrutinizing. 

good luck
