When you're in Neutral, and it won't start, is your Neutral light on, and your gear selector indicator (if applicable) also showing Neutral? If yes, I think those circuits are fine. Check / trace wires from the kill switch and the start button next. Understand how bit work, ohm them out, then

I suspect the bearings are as old as the bike. I managed to pound them out. Oddly, I didn't have a sensible tool to do it. Tried a screwdriver and a chisel. I ended up using an old ratchet handle. The end was pretty flat and because it was round, I think it bit the edge of the bearing better.
