Default Help needed....

Hi, help needed please. I ride a 2007 fatboy and have had no issues until last year. Now the neutral light comes on whenever it feels like in gear, in neutral it has no preference. Also the 6th gear light comes on when I go into 6th, then goes out and the red key light comes on (however if I exert upwards pressure on the gear selector everything goes back to normal) . Is there a sensor on the gear selector that needs looking at ? Could the neutral light be the neutral switch?
Any help and advice gladly appreciated

Sounds like a failing neutral switch....

Part # 33926-06B, still available from the dealer at $18.99. It's #30 in parts diagram below...
