Hello rocketz,
Just to summarize, this has been a problem from first starting, and the dealerships are unable to provide any assistance. Yours is a 2018 RS model, and has an additional red indicator on the right of the tach which our US models don't have. What is it for?
I am in the US, and the last CB1100 sold here was a 2017 EX model, but our 2017 shop manual also covers RS model.
I do not know why the FI light stays on, as it should go out after the key is turned on and the needles sweep. There are no FI codes directly related to the neutral or oil pressure circuits. It may be unrelated.
The gear indicator flashing the "-" is normal when the engine starts, however the green "N" should indicate, which it doesn't here. Max thinks the problem lies in the neutral light circuit, and I think he's right.
There are 2 neutral indicator switches. One is the gear position indicator switch that is responsible for the "-" display. I see you had the countershaft cover off to check that switch, but it is unrelated - it indicates properly.
The neutral switch Max refers to is underneath the engine, just aft of the oil pan, on the right side. There is a single wire going to it that just plugs up into the switch. If it is plugged in, then the next test is to unplug it and ground the wire with the key on, engine not running - the "N" should light. If still not, test the switch by checking for continuity from its center pin to any ground, like the crankcase.
Let us know what you find. The yellow FI light may be another issue.
