On your first issue, which light are you referring to? Do you mean you have brake light function in the tail but not running light? Have you checked the bulbs for broken filaments?
On your second issue: you mention that you're going into and out of neutral, apparently tied to the clutch lever. Do you mean that your neutral light on the cluster comes on when you fully depress the clutch, and goes out again halfway depressed, or do you know mechanically that your transmission is shifting into neutral? -Kurt On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 12:30 AM, Bryan Gibson <[email protected]> wrote: > I have two issues, actually.
