Bike turns over all lights on except the neutral light when i try and start it it wont start all fuses work battery good

It may be the kick stand safety switch? You can only start it sitting on the bike with the stand up.

Check the battery.Is it charged?Also does the neutral light go on?
If not check the neutral switch.
The neutral switch is behind the engine case near the rear shock and has one wire. Make sure the bike is in neutral or on stands. Remove the one wire and put it to earth/chassis/ground (somewhere metal on the bike). The neutral light should come on and you should be able to start the bike if that was the problem.

If you have no light you can't even hot wire it sounds like the ignition switch is bad in the start and run positions.

is there a fuse on or near starter relay/ rectifier

my neutral switch is a hit and miss. I'm just curious if it could be the battery. I let the bike sit tonight for a couple hours as I took parts off and turned on the battery the green light came on and then faded away. So I don't have a battery tester so I put it on charge and the lights is nice and bright so I turned the bike off put everything back and see if it will start so I can get to work. why would this happen sometimes and not others. Battery is 1.5 years old Decka battery. I heard replacing the switch is a big job and not a guaranty. thanks for the help

how did you fix your problem? the same thing its happening to me

Check that your Engine kill switch is in the Run position.

Bike must be in neutral (with neutral light showing) to crank starter, if you try starting in gear the clutch switch must be activated (lever in) and the sidestand must be up.

Looks like you have a switch on your left handlebar that might cut power if you don't pull the clutch in. I've seen a few that have failed. Try wiring them together (to create a circuit) and see if it will let you do that. But if you don't have a neutral light on....you had better make sure the bike IS in Neutral first. Or at least throw the back on a stand so its up in the air, otherwise the bike may lurch forward and fall. Also, check the battery, sometimes they have enough juice to turn the lights on/horn etc, but not enough to start the motor. Good luck.

The click u hear means your neutral isn't the problem, it means your new battery is trying to start the engine, however the power isn't making it to the starter. check the battery cables for good connection in the ends of the wires and at the start relay (the positive wire from the battery goes to the start relay that may need replacing) also from the start relay that you hear clicking down to the starter.make sure cable and nuts that hold them are clean in good shape. to get the neutral lite to come on the side stand doesn't do it, the shift lever does. you can be sure you are in neutral when the bike can roll without the clutch being pulled.If the bike is in neutral and the lite doesn't come on then replacing the bulb or sensor might be necessary.

   • i did that they are all fine. we even jumped the starter cylanoid. and all it did was turn. i think it has something to do with the neutral light not coming on.
