Default Neutral indicator light coming on while riding.

Hello all I posted this earlier in the touring section but yesterday after washing my '15 SGS I noticed my gear indicator and neutral light started flickering and then the neutral light stayed on. I'm not having any gear slippage just the light. I've got 1,800 miles on her and had the first service done about 3 weeks ago ( at 1k miles) any advice?

Thanks in advance,
_Hunter

Not sure about the newer bikes but I had a similar problem on my 02 Fatboy and had to replace the neutral switch. It's located on top of the tranny and is easy to replace if you have a offset box end wrench as the switch is recessed.

I may try that next. I'm wondering if I might have metal shavings that have gunked up in there?
