I have a 1992 honda nighthawk cb750 and the neutral light does not come on , and therefore I am unable to start the engine with the kickstand down. It worked fine the first time I started it up on July 28, 2012; then a second attempt failed as the neutral light would not come on. I am guessing it is in the switch somewhere, but I do not know where to start to diagnose if it is a loose connection, or a bad part. Please help, as I am selling the bike, but would like this to work before I sell the bike. Thanks very much

On the transmission near the shift liver there is a switch. You may want to replace that switch with a new one. That is the neutral switch.
Good luck.

SOURCE: Problems with the kickstand and neutral light on 2002 Shadow 600

The side stand kill switch is supposed to kill the engine any time the kickstand is down. This way there is no way you can take out with the stand down > Safety issue. The neutral light could be burned out. fuse burned, bad switch. The switch is located in the center of the front sprocket. There is a 15amp fuse that protects the oil, neutral, meter and tail lights > Is the fuse good?

Go to this site and you can download a free PDF service manual.
http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp There is a service manual with a wiring diagram in the back. The manual is for a 2001 VT600 but only minor differences to the 2002 manual.

Top rating on this solution? Thanks :D

SOURCE: 1998 Honda Goldwing will not start nothing.

Sort of sounds like a Twilight Zone kind of problem doesn't it. I would have the battery checked for an internal dead short. This is something that happens on odd occasions and can happen even to a new battery. Yea, the little lights will work ( they do not draw much juice ), but the starter motor draws a lot of juice and a shorted battery just ain't got it. Also check the wiring harness connections. One loose connection can cause bunches of trouble.
