Neutral Indicator not working when hot +++

[Peteinnit]

Hi all,

I noticed this recently and have also subsequently noticed that I can also start the bike without applying the clutch lever and the engine stops if I put the side stand down whilst in neutral. Initially I suspected the neutral indicator switch, which seems easy enough to replace (which I'll get round to soon), but just wondering if this switch could also be responsible for the other 2 issues as well, or whether I may have multiple problems? Whilst I didn't notice the clutch lever thing til today, I suspect all 3 issue started at the same time, so hoping there will be one fix for all. Now I've written this, I guess the answer is to replace the switch and see if the others are cured as well  

 

Cheers,

Peter

The switches could just be gummed up especially the neutral switch as this is probably covered in chain lube. The Clutch switch could be the plastic pin bit that extends when you pull in the clutch could have broken off or jammed.
