hi,all,would anyone know,anything,about why my nutral light is not working its not the bulb and i dont where else to look,i,m taking my cbt on sunday,and i have a yamaha 125 sr,p reg,and that little green light,will come in handy for the frist few weeks,...

I've had that same prob with my XT for over a year now

Bottom line is my clocks are shagged!

But your issue might be something internally in the gearbox?

Hi there,

I wonder if the neutral light switch has gone u/s? I have no idea where it would be located on your bike but I would look for a couple of wires coming out of the top of the gearbox and try to trace them to see where they go, then maybe try and see if they have any current passing through them.

hi,thankyou for the advice its good and easy to follow,i shall have a look,and all being well the green light,will be ok,ill let you know how i do

hi,thankyou,for replys on my green light....opps,had a go ...and still no green light...

Hey i see you live in cornwall, how far down i am not far from bude on the north side just in devon

hi,merv,i was up in Boscatle,on sunday...bude is not that far from there....so i was pretty close....good to read someone is on here from our neck of the woods,...what do you ride....??if you don,t mind me askin..

Ive got an SR, but im down in helston, bit far, lol.

you see where the chain goes in to the gear box, take off that little pannel (two screws, one at top, one at bottom, before flywheal case join) and make sure the wires arent cought on the sporket or that they are shorting. if that doesnt help, im afraind uve got two options;

1. put up with it, lol.

or

2. take it to your local bike garage, and ask them to try and fix it.

(ps, u sure its not the bulb, or its conections on the dash set? they can work loose sometimes, or get corroded)

Hayle > Helston not that far is it ?

Merv

my 125 sr,in in the hands of a friend of mine,for a little bit of tlc,so everything will be sorted....then i,ll be out biking... ;)before i brought her she had been used very little,.... idle for a year,

Go gentil on the throtle then, let her do 100 miles on low revs, otherwise you may do some damage to the engine, as bits need to "remember" where they sat when the engine was running.

where, roughly,are you near?

kim

Thanks,for the advice,i am gentle on the throttle,just wish i had more time to be in the saddle,but work tends to get in the,....i live near st.ives....
