That does sound different. It's a rotary switch with a half dozen contacts on the 80s bikes. I had to take it apart and clean them all up then bend the spring a little to make it work again. Cabo sounds fun, as long as this heat wave finally breaks. -Kyle On Tue, Sep 10, 2019 at 9:07 PM EGrider

Kyle,that sounds pretty different. The 90s bikes have no gear indicator, and the neutral switch has a single bullet connector. I added some dielectric grease and took it for a ride to heat it up. Better, but the neutral light still went off right after coming on sometimes. I went ahead and

Yes, that's normal. If your engine stopped when you put down the side stand while in neutral, as mine sometimes does, you would consider it abnormal, I suppose. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To unsubscribe

I'm not sure about the 90s bikes, but on the 80s bike the clutch switch is a simple 2 post job and easy to test. The gear indicator switch, which includes the neutral indicator, is also pretty simple to test with a multimeter. Sometimes they get gunked up and need to be cleaned out. Again, no idea
