Hello Docc, yes i used a squirt of wd and worked the plunger a bit. I might try that once more just for kicks- I plan to change the oil soon too. I got no connection thru the anchor point whilst good connections were found on the switch body, hex-bolt, gear lever etc, etc. I wonder if there's a bit of grit inside the switch preventing the plunger contacting?

Hi Thumper, yes, I initially pulled the connector off the switch and found that it'll ground properly against the frame. The relay clicks and the light lights up. Removed the switch, gave it a quick clean and a rub with some emery, reinstalled but same problem...

Hi Folks, Greetings from Sheffield UK! I've had my Ballabio now for nearly a week and absolutey love it. She's much smoother and refined than I thought it would be, sounds like thunder and certainly an exercise in sweet clutch control. So now I've got my first problem... The neutral light lights not. Meaning I can't warm her up on the stand as I'd like to. Looking through old posts on this helped me to diagnose the switch as the problem. My question is what part of the switch breaks and why? Looking at it it seems to be a mechanical connection, is this right? I assume a metal part of the gearbox connects and depresses the plunger allowing the current to flow? Can it be fixed or is a replacement necessary? Many Thanks in advance for any help on this matter, Stew.
