Transmission, and "switch-comp, nuetral" Q

Hey y'all, it's been a while. Life been busy.

So, remember that stupid debacle I had with the chains, getting thrown off my ninjas.. Well, that was sorted on one of the bikes, and no issues. Riding great. Now the 06 Ninja, I am finally getting to squeeze in some damage control. Been sitting for a few months.. Running across some issues, I haven't ever tackled before. so looking for opinions.

( this is without chain, and on centerstand for time being)

Right above the counter-shaft sprocket, is a green wire. It is disconnected, from it's..( bung?) fitting. At the end of said wire is a brass geared looking connection. And inside the fitting/bung, is a tiny brass "T" shaped bullet. Am I missing anything else?

So..wire, brass connector, brass bullet. Threaded bung..

Am I missing a spring? Or rod that goes through there. (Neutral light does not come on when in neutral) bikebandit calls it a "switch-comp, neutral" and shows the outside of unit, but no internal details.

Secondly, it shifts through all 6 gears. I noticed using the clutch lever, does not appear to disengage the clutch. ( going by how hard the countershaft still turns.) So, because of it sitting a few months, possible clutch plates sticking? Or is it simply having more torque, on it's own, because it isn't having to be countered, by a chain, and tire contacted to pavement?

Ok second issue I was able to figure out. Clutch/clutch lever is working fine, and shifting properly. Engine is fine.

Now just to figure out about the wire.

Can you post photo of this? Not sure if your wire is broken or if neutral-switch may have come part or if there's something additional non-OEM tacked on...

1. First you have to make sure neutral switch is sensing neutral OK. Put transmission in neutral and push bike back & forth to verify it’s in neutral. Then measure resistance between neutral switch’s terminal and chassis ground. How many ohms to you measure?

2. Next test neutral light circuit. Unplug green wire from sensor. Stick bare wire into bullet terminal and ground other end. Key ON, do you see neutral light on dash?

I probably shouldn't have drawn all over it. So the wire has a tight connection to the right side. The bullet, or "T" shaped item on far left. Between the two is hollow space. So I'm thinking there is a rod or spring, missing.

Have meter at the other job. I'll pick it up tomorrow.

I checked one I have and there’s no way to remove bullet terminal on it. The inside tip is spring-loaded. So yours may be damaged with missing guts?

Inside tip should be electronically isolated from outside.



You can test unit itself:

1. Resistance from either tip to outside casing should be infinite ohms/open circuit

2. Resistance between inner tip and outer terminal should be zero-ohms/full-continuity.

If you don’t have continuity from inner tip to outside bullet terminal, maybe you can repair it with spring from ball-point pen? It’s definitely weak spring like that.

I was thinking that was the case, that it was pulled apart, and a piece went missing.

So the good news, as far as looking at things.. the male connector pops back in, with reasonable force ( into an insulated pocket) and the opposite end tip, also has the isolator. As much as I draw..have not a single pen that clicks. :/ but, I do have various lighters of different sizes.. I'll try a spring from those. I'll report back my findings.

Thanks for the help!
