Neutral light temperamental

Anyone had problems with the neutral light not working.
Mine has started to occasionally not light up when you hit neutral at traffic lights etc. When the engine is running.It seems to reset itself when you switch all the electrics off and back on again using the main key.

Yeah, mine has just started to do that as wll. Bike is fine but just the neutral light, Side stand switch is fine. Clutch switch is fine.

Bike is in for a 12K service at the moment. I will go down and see the mechanic today and see if he has resolved the problem and get back to you later this evening.

Cheers SteveD

Mines only got 1700 miles on it and is still under warranty. Just a bloody nuisance faulty that could be embarrassing at traffic lights.
If you find any more out please let me know many thanks.

Nuetral light

Just an update on this problem.
Its now very hit and miss, works sometimes , sometimes not at all.
But its now stopping me starting the engine-as the neutral switch thinks the bike is in gear it wont let me start the engine without the clutch lever being pulled.
Ive spoken to the dealer who supplied me with the bike and they are kindly going to send me up a new switch under warranty and i will replace it myself ( there isnt a yamaha dealer in cumbria now...!)
When i get the old switch out i will see if there are any visible reasons for it failing.
Stupid little fault but taking time to sort.

Yes, pain that.

There is also a switch on the clutch lever, as long as the sidestand is up, and the clutch lever pulled right in, you can start the bike in gear. Doesn't sort your problem , but it might get you going again.
