rrbasso,

 

Usually it is a faulty neutral safty switch. It is really easy to check, when the light fails to work, just ground the neutral switch spade (located under the starter on the transmission) to ground (ign on) and if the light comes on, you need a neutral switch.

It does sound like the neutral swich but before you run out and buy a replacement switch these are simply a plunger style switch which can most likely be easily fixed. Remove switch submerge it in hot soapy water working the plunger in and out a few minutes. Check opperation of switch with multimeter (easier than hooking it up to the bike) use wd40 or similar to remove water from switch before replacing it, hope this helps.

Yes I suppose it may be salvageable.

 

It really depends on the amount of wear on the plunger.

 

You might be there again quite quickly if it is worn.

Had problems with that switch on my Scura cleaned it using the method above and no problem since. However if the switch can be replaced cheaply enough.

Just for future reference, where exactly is the switch located and what is the removal/replacement procedure.

 

Thanks,

The switch is located just under the starter, you need to get on your knees to see it. It just screws into the transmission and there is just one wire going to it. Really easy to replace.
