Kick stand kill switch

@oldman where's the neutral switch?
-
@irongamer727 Under the gear lever. It's the black plastic tapped m8 or 10 bolt.
-
I've cleaned everything up. The neutral lamp and all that works. Could it still be faulty?

@dt125matt The switch is just that, a switch. So banging a resistor won't make a difference if the switch has gone faulty.
-
@calum ideas on what to try?
-
@irongamer727 Loop it out if you're struggling mate.
-
@calum anything that has current running through will have some form of resistance.
I deal with a lot of pro audio and everything from connectors to cable give resistance which is where my thoughts were laying.
It could be worth still measuring?
-
@dt125matt That's when detecting if the component has gone faulty. Measuring it's impedance.
But since a switch will have infinite internal resistance when open, then the results will be misleading.
Use impedance testing for say, Coil, Regulator

You say that but its similar to a seat belt light with a pressure plate in the seat...
Essentially its just a open close switch.... open when no one is seated ....
Closed when seated...
Try to loop these and you will still have a seat belt light... because there is a resistance thats caused by the switch.... maybe only 0.6 ohms but its enough. Only way to get over that is looping via a resistor.Obviously i must be mistaken in way of the DT, as i am new to this side of the mechanical world but its just an idea !

Does anybody know how to check if the neutral relay is working without replacing it?
My bike cuts out as soon as the sidestand is down, even in neutral.
-
@Irongamer727 It's not a relay it's a switch.
So it should exist in one of two states, either open or closed.
An impedenace test on the item will show that no matter what state the item is in, the impedence never changes. That's when you know it's failed.
-
@Calum there's a relay and there's a switch
-
It's connected to a diode (not the neutral lamp). Anyone know where this is?
