I was thinking the light flickering was related to the neutral sensor not detecting the bike was in neutral. Just trying to form a plan of attack to correct the issue..what to look at disassemble first.

- May 13, 2012, 13:49:06 PMHave an issue with my 1500 that started yesterday. Started bike, let her warm up and off I went for a ride. About 40 miles down the road I pull over to take a few pictures and as I put the bike in neutral I notice the neutral light seemed to flickered every now and then. When I kicked out the side stand the bike stuttered and then died like it would if you tried putting out your side stand and it was in gear. Pull the side stand in and she starts right up. She pretty much did the the rest of the ride. When I stopped if the neutral light started to flicker and put out the side stand off went the motor. I tried putting back into first and then back into neutral a few times but the flickering of the neutral indicator light continued. So where should I look first? My first thought was something with the neutral and not the side stand safety switch but it never hurts to ask before you start wrenching.
