Neutral light ?

Haven't really heard of the LEDs going back but the shifter mechanism can be a bit fussy. Sometimes I need to jiggle the shift lever around a bit to get the light to come on, even though the bike is in neutral. See if wiggling the selector back and forth while its in the neutral position.
 
This may be the Gear Position Sensor, which is at the left rear of the engine block.
Do a search on GPS to find past threads. The GPS has been redesigned in newer bike. I have a 2008

I had this problem and after reading several threads here I did the following:
Remove GPS, one bolt I think, carefully preserve the spring and pin that will come out.
Clean up the oily mess.
Scotch-brite the little round brass contacts.
Reinstall.
I had to twist it while tightening (right or left I forget) to get the neutral light to come on.
No problems in 2 years.
 
Thanks ...I’ll have a crack at it.
