17 Handlebar switches - removal and installation
Refer to illustrations 17.1a, 17.1b and 17.1c
1 The handlebar switches are composed of two halves that clamp
around the bars. They are easily removed for cleaning or inspection by
taking out the clamp screws and pulling the switch halves away from
the handlebars (see illustrations).
2 To completely remove the switches, the electrical connectors in
the wiring harness should be unplugged.
3 When installing the switches, make sure the wiring harnesses are
properly routed to avoid pinching or stretching the wires.
18 Neutral switch - check and replacement
Check
1 Make sure the transmission is in neutral.
2 Remove the lower left frame cover (see Chapter 7). Locate the
switch harness (it has a single connector with sky blue wires), then
unplug the connector.
3 Connect the terminal in the harness side of the'connector to
ground/earth (bare metal on the motorcycle frame) with a short length
of wire.
a) If the light stays out, check the bulb and the wiring between the
ignition switch and neutral switch.
b) If the neutral indicator light comes on, the neutral switch may be
bad. Connect an ohmmeter between the terminal in the switch
side of the connector and ground. Shift through the gears. The
ohmmeter should indicate continuity (low resistance) in neutral
and no continuity (infinite resistance) in all other gears. If not,
replace the neutral switch.
Replacement
Refer to illustrations 18.5a and 18.5b
4 Remove the alternator cover (see Section 28).
5 Loosen the small screw on the switch and detach the wire (see
illustration). Remove the switch mounting screws and detach the
switch from the crankcase (see illustration). Remove the O-ring and
install a new one.
6 Installation is the reverse of the removal steps.
19 Sidestand switch - check and replacement
Check
1 Support the bike securely so it can't be knocked over during this
procedure.
2 . Follow the wiring harness from the switch to the connector, then
unplug the connector. Connect the leads of an ohmmeter to the wire
terminals. With the sidestand in the up position, there should be
continuity through the switch (little or no resistance).
