When in neutral, temp gauge pegs at 320, needle gauge back lights die, tach dies, lower indicator lights all work still. Fuel gauge is disconnected.

It has done this since i bought the bike. Something with the neutral switch??

Sorry, forgot about your thread. Sounds line something in the LED gear display might be shorting. Disconnect the connector from under the tank and see if the gauge problem goes away at least.

Does the neutral light actually come on?

Sounds like somebody did a little creative wiring on the bike. I would check the connector for the gear indicator wires and see if everything is lining up correctly. You'll need a wiring diagram to be sure it's correct.

I had a problem with my gauge lights and tail light not working. A PO had wired the lights into my stator loop by getting the wires wrong in a connector. One I straightened it out and replaced some fried wiring, they worked just fine.

Yes the neutral light comes on. Headlight light stays on also.

Another thing, temp seems to go up in small increments with upshifts. Down with downshifts.


Found a Derale cooler with cover and lines for cheap.
