I need that little blue plastic jewel that snaps over the bulb for the high beam. Anyone got one, or any ideas on where to source one?

I also need a neutral switch

Thanks!

nobody has, or knows where to find either of these items?

The dash lenses are notoriously hard to source. There are a few threads on here describing homemade attempts, but I don't think anything ever came of it.

The neutral switch will likely need to be purchased from a dealer. Is yours missing? They look pretty tough to break?

I was looking for the same thing and as mentioned above, they are hard to find. Sorry..

well, there's a motorcycle salvage shop 1.5 hours away that I might try stopping at for the jewel

my neutral safety switch doesn't appear to work right, as the neutral light never comes on

Le question de stupido - is the bulb burned out?

If you are in neutral, will the bike run with the sidestand down?

Does it die if put in gear (clutch in, obviously).

If both are true, the wiring would appear to be intact and switch would appear to be working, at which point burned out bulb seems likely.

If either is not true, something has been messed with in the wiring.

the bulb is not burned out, the bike will not run in neutral with the sidestand down, it otherwise runs just fine.

I found some troubleshooting the system guide here, and based on that testing it seems the neutral switch is out
