Reply: The neutral light flickers when it is in gear. It is on solid when in neutral.

Reply: The bike is 8 yrs old with 50,000 + miles. The switch is original so I’m betting the problem is internal which was my first suspicion. Thanks for the info. By the way, the less expensive longer lasting Michelin tires I just got really suck on wet pavement.

It is hard to find Neutral when shifting between 1st and 2nd gear on my 2013 tri glide. How can I get a more positive indication? Most of the time all I see is a flicker, but no indentation like the other gear positions.
Try finding neutral without the motorcycle running. If neutral is easily found this way, you will want to address your clutch.
If you have a conventional clutch cable, try a clutch adjustment 1st.
If you have a hydraulic clutch, try bleeding the assembly.

On my 09 XL1200C sportster, sometimes the neutral light will not come on and therefor won’t start. A Harley mechanic said that there were some bad pins on a sensor and he temporarly fixed it. I bought a new battery, and after a couple of months later, the neutral light would not come on until I taped up a typeof sensor to be a tight connection and the neutral light came on. What sensor is this? So , I can replace it with a new one.
On my previous question about a sensor that had some bad pin connections,and neutral light would not come on and would not start until I taped up this certain sensor to make a tight connection,what sensor is this?So I can order a vnew one and replace it so it will not happen again? And I did buy a new Harley battery also,it does not do this too often, usually after a long ride when engine is pretty warmed up it might happen.Please email me @ LD377@comcast.net and let me know what that sensor is called ,so I can fix it permanatly. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Larry G.
Hi, Larry. There is a neutral switch. Not a sensor. Check your connections at the neutral switch. Make sure that they are clean and secure.

Neutral light and headlights flash with ignition on or running when parked for a day something is killing the battery. Any ideas?
Have 12 flhx ,neutral lite comes in neutral occasional,tightened connections works for a while then gone again,?????
I have found that cleaning the connections with sandpaper works well if you are dealing with a bad connection.

How do I disable the “safety netural switch ….I’ve been riding Harley’s since 1974 …..I mean jeeze ..ever been in a bind and stall out and need to get going quick …??
The clutch safety switch has 2 wires. You simply need to join these wires to complete the circuit and disable the feature.

Hello, So I have a 2018 Street glide special with 22,000 miles on it. The bike runs fine but my neutral switch stays on no matter what gear I’m in. The two plugs on the switch are on good.
