videoarizona Posted May 5, 2015 Share #5 Posted May 5, 2015 My (new to me) 2nd Gen just started similar thing. Overdrive light gone away. Bulb probably... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted May 6, 2015 Share #6 Posted May 6, 2015 The Neutral and OD lights are controlled by the same switch. The circuitry for the neutral light is a bit complicated due to the interaction with side stand, clutch and starter switch interlocks, including several diodes imbedded in the starter cutout relay. That is a long way of saying that blind advice over the forum is actually pretty hard on this subject, but real troubleshooting of the bike should be pretty easy if you have an ohmmeter and can read a schematic. Start by finding the switch plug and disconnecting it, then testing with the ohmmeter to see if it opens and closes when you shift out of neutral.

videoarizona Posted May 8, 2015 Share #7 Posted May 8, 2015 Thanks Goose. Ran through the switches...simply for peace of mind. Then took fairing off and went looking for the O.D. bulb. Yamaha did a good job of hiding those little buggers! Used my new HF very long pliers (advice given on this very forum) to pull the light bulb out. Bad bulb. Test ride today to see if that's the problem! (any excuse for a ride)... david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
