jimmythemoonlight Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 neutral switch i would think? yes just checked in the manual it's neutral switch check your manual jimmy bloody marvalous thanks airhead!! i thought i had not been able to find it in my manual due to the fact i didnt know what i was looking for, i am not quite fluent with wire diagrams, i looked at the diagram that showed it connected to the pick up coil, i then went on ebay looking for a pick up coil to get an idea of what that looked like and hey presto,had a look at my coil, i found i wire that looks like it would go straight on it . smashin. i supose to the more experienced bike technician its a relitively simple thing to deal with but for me that was a real eurika moment, thanks once again .

Moderator Airhead Posted February 26, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2012 if its pdf you can right click and then use 'search' it will go directly the what you search for, if multiple resuls step through using the forward/reverse arrow , for example search for neutral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yuh know cobber it often is a matter of 'what is that wire pointing toward?' i.e., the gearbox ,and the sprocket area(in this case). then what electric devices are associated wit the gearbox. Almost self explanatory after several years fr#**in about with this sort of job. Of course you need to know your machine a little.So did it have a gear position indicator on the dashboard? Although you know now its only a neutral gear pos. switch. My assertion is that in future if in doubt ask , yet you can have a fairly accurate idea to begin with via some sleuthing the location and assoc. components. I'm new here..and a b%#*dy foreigner.So pardon me if I'm off target or offensive? No intention to be so... Happy motorcycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
