Default Neutral light on in all gears...

Has anyone been riding and all of a sudden the neutral like flickers on? And stays on? Either in second, third, fourth, or fifth gear? Latley this has been happening to me, so my question to everyone, is there a neutral switch, and where is it located? What would cause something like to happen?

Look on the top of your transmission, right under the front inside corner of your battery box. There is a tan wire there that connects to the neutral switch, plus another connector that is a black ground. The tan one goes to your malfuntioning light and also into the turn signal module

Disconnect both the tan and black wires to this switch. Connect an ohmmeter between the posts on the switch. With trans in neutral the ohm meter should read 0. In all gears it should read infinity.

If it doesn't do the above, replace the switch.

If it checks out okay, then check out the two wires leading to it for either improper grounding (black) or chafed wires (tan).
