Help please! Neutral indicator delay.
Discussion
Gents,
Went out on the bike and whenever I shifted into neutral the gear position indicator would go blank. It’s only blank when in neutral, but oddly the neutral light still works as normal. The revs at neutral are also slightly higher than normal.
I did all the usual things, and have cleaned behind the front sprocket cover where I believe the gear position sensor is. This seems to have worked, to an extent.
It now shows neutral, but only after a delay of 3 to 4 seconds, rather than instantly as when working properly. The revs are also higher than they should be at idle until the N is shown on the gear position indicator.
Any thoughts? Bit stumped here. Bike is a 2016 V Strom 1000.
