Hello all.
I am trying to sort out some issues on a 2001 monster 900ie dark. 14000 miles
at the top of the list currently is the neutral switch. I know everyone is going to tell me not to rely on it anyway. I am a little bit picky about my equipment and would like to resolve if it is a neutral switch. or possibly the gear selector spring and ball.
Here goes.
It seams particularly easy to put it in neutral (ive been experimenting for a while)between 1st and 2nd without having the light come one. I can roll up to a red light and have it in nuetral without the light on. just for fun i will then rev the engine and it seems like the vibration causes something to move just enough to turn the light on.
i can also very easily find neutral and have the light come on. i have been practicing being more deliberate with the shifter but it is tricky to be deliberate in trying to find neatral without bouncing from 1st to 2nd. I believe the switch to be mechanical and possibly spring loaded and possibly sticking.
the only other problem i have found with the transmission is a false neutral that pops up between either 4th and 5th or 5th and 6th that i bump into if i don't clutch in to shift up.
im not sure if this will help but i replaced a the clutch plates and basket (with barnet units) at 10000 miles and the old setup was beat. I bought the bike with 9000miles on it.
