Neutral Switch Replacement

I found a schematic that will work. You bike does have a LED for neutral indication.

Remove the instrument console so you can gain access to connector #21 which is the connector that connects the 5 indicator lamps to the wiring harness. Connector #21 is an 8 pin connector but only 1-7 are populated with wires. Pin #5 should be a TAN wire. Pin #6 should be an ORANGE wire.

Separate (Disconnect) connector #21. You will be probing the wiring harness end.

Step 1) Turn on ignition. Measure the DC Voltage between Pin #6 (orange) and FRAME ground. You must read 12 volts. Do you read 12 volts DC.

Step 2) Turn Off ignition. With your meter in the 200 ohms scale (MUST be lowest scale), measure the resistance valve between Pin #5 (TAN) to FRAME ground when bike is in Neutral. You must read less than 1 ohm. Do you read 1 ohm or less.

If YES to both questions, indicator lamp assembly is bad or connector #21 is not making good contact.

Remember you MUST have your meter in the lowest scale (200 ohm) when reading step #2.

If answer to either step is NO,, let me know.
 
Hoople,
Been so busy over the past couple weeks. Will try this afternoon. Thanks for the post and reply. Will update you.

12 Volts

0.06 Ohms

Looks like the light assembly needs replaced. Need to research how that happens. Hoople thanks again for all your assistance.
