Greetings all

hello, new to this forum,but not Harleys (or motorcycles in general).

So lets get the ball rolling with my 1st question. i have an 01 Police model. i just replaced a faulty neutral light switch. now it works completely reverse of normal operations i.e; lights on when in gear,off in neutral? what the heck happened?
note, it shifts fine, no misses and all the gears are still there...wink!

thank you

Robin

RE: Greetings all

Did you make sure the bike was in neutral before installing the switch?

yes, it was in neutral, but how would that make a difference?

I figured you were just joking since you had a 'wink!' after your question.

Can't help you there.

RE: Greetings all

BTW, welcome to the forum. Go to Zanotti Motor after you find out the pn# for the electric diagnostic manual for your bike and purchase one along with the regular service manual. Best thing you can ever do.
