RE: Bike won't start - CB4ME_imp - 08-30-2015
My meter was so old that the battery corroded the circuit board. In other words toast. Bike still starts in neutral so I'll take it to Home Depot for a new one. Hope it's just a bad clutch switch.

Sorry to hear that CB. I've had it happen too.

Hope it's just a bad connection

Fixed! The plug to neutral switch wasn't fully plugged in.
RE: Bike won't start - the Ferret - 09-01-2015
where? up under L/H switch assy or somewhere else?
RE: Bike won't start - CB4ME_imp - 09-01-2015
The neutral switch is under the transmission on the right side of the bike. The service manual has a drawing showing all the switches and pointed to the left side of the bike just aft of the sprocket cover but it ain't there. But the drawing made me take off the sprocket cover to check. I quickly realized it had to be on the other side. I push the connector up, heard a click as it snapped back into place, and instantly knew that was the issue. (Clutch switch passed continuity test).

Great!!
RE: Bike won't start - the Ferret - 09-01-2015
Hmmm I don't remember seeing a switch on the right side. Exposed or behind a case?
RE: Bike won't start - Lord Popgun - 09-01-2015
In the '13 manual it shows it on the right side bottom. On page 1-27.
The EOP switch is close to it (engine oil pressure)
