dimming neutral light
I have noticed that when in neutral and hand off the lever, the green light is slightly dimmer with little flickers (the idle speed is correct btw).
As soon as pull the clutch lever in, it brightens up and no flicker. I am not sure it this is normal and has always been there or not. Anyone noticed this?? |

Doesn't sound normal & I haven't had the same experience, but I would have a look at the electrical connectors under the clutch lever for cleanliness first.

I think it sounds like it could be a weak spring in the neutral switch itself? Pulling the clutch causes the transmission internals to stop rotating which in turn probably reduces the vibrations enough within the gearbox to prevent the switch contacts wobbling (due to the weak spring) and the light to stop dimming and flickering. What you describe are typical symptoms of a worn neutral light switch.

In the end I took it to my local dealer. The guy could not see a fault and thought perhaps maybe is a slight voltage fluctuation a idle due to the engine running characteristic (single pulse)
who knows... BTW Pleiades, if the switch spring is weak what can happen over time? |

It will just get slowly more and more flickery, start working intermittently and then stop working altogether when the spring becomes to weak to hold the contacts apart/together.

Thanks very much for the info.
Sounds like there this won't be damaging. like bits of metal floating around! I live with it for the time being and if it is the spring until the time it needs replacing ![]() |
