Neutral light + gear indicator

Post by jvhy »

Hello!

Already last autumn my Corsaro started to blink the neutral light by time to time. Also gear indicator shows "N" at same time. While servicing the bike I checked contacts of wiring and so on. Found nothing wrong from there.

Does anyone has had the same problem? What can be done to it?

Mine was a bit like that at one point but it went away after I adjusted the chain. Not really sure why chain tension should affect it so probably coincidence but worth checking

Ok, it's anyway worth to check. I keep my chains quite loose...And if it affects to a total slack in system...hmmm!

Anyone else has more ideas?

I have had a similar problem sometimes when I start and put the bike into gear the neutral light stays on until I have changed gear a couple of times, looking at the set up there is a plunger switch inside the gearbox which indicates neutral and datum’s for the gear indicator mode on the dashboard this plunger would appear to be sticking which causes the problem, next time it does it I will leave it in gear and lower the side stand if working correctly the engine should stop I am pretty confident it will not stop due to the switch still signalling that the bike is in neutral……if I am correct this could mean it would be possible to ride off with the side stand still down. :shock:
