I don't trust the neutral light. Never have, never will.
Habit, I guess. From the 'old days' when there was no such thing.
Now watch, I talk trash then I'll forget and start the bike in gear.

I don't trust the neutral indicator light either. Ialways hold in the clutch when starting the bike.

Speaking of indicator lights....How does the 6th gear indicator work? The reason I ask, I notice mine will go out when in 6th with the clutch pulled in. Obviously its not a connection on the shift drum because its still in gear. Does the ECM read MPH vs RPM to calculate when you are in 6th?

My MSF instructor called it a "green light indicator" - meaning it proves the green light works. 
I too tend to ease of the clutch just to be sure, but my FXDC hasn't been wrong once since I got it a month ago (though I HAVE forgotten to look a couple of times before thinking it's in neutral and popping the lever out).
