• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Neutral Light Staying On My 610!

Hi there... I have a 2009 SM610... quick background of the bike - I bought it back off the Insurer as a repairable right off (I had dropped the bike into a guard rail - woops!) the bike was fully repaired but the ECU was damaged we think by the repairer did this because they couldn't get a new one for it(? and can't use second hand parts on the repair) - anyhow I managed to get an second hand ECU from the States and bingo - the bike works great again - we done all the re-register set up to put the bike back on the road but the neutral light won't switch off when you put it into gear - score another switch from the States and still does the same thing... any idea of what it may be or how to sort it... thanks in advance - look forward to see any replies... thanks Dion...

Maybe check if the neutral sensor wires are ok, maybe they are short circuiting due to the crash and I think (not sure tho) that they could make your N light permanently on.
 
Thanks for that... I've gone over everything and it all seems fine but apparently not or the light would go off does anyone know where I could get a wiring diagram for this bike 2008 610... maybe I can see something in this that may help.... thanks in advance - regards Dion...
 
looks like you might have a gear position sensor as opposed to a neutral switch?

if so, I'd bet neutral is like zero ohms (and 1st, 2nd, 3rd... are like 120 ohms, 240 ohms, 330 ohms... etc). if so, the wire is pinched or grounded somewhere.
 
neutral light is simple, all wires always "hot", shift drum rotates and provides ground in one spot completing the circuit, light comes on.

Step 1. disconnect the single wire going up to the frame from the switch, it comes up in front of the sprocket, between starter motor.

If light stays on you have a wiring fault, possibly dash wiring or harness.

If light goes out the fault is with a sensor or basically down below. Sensor itself can't really fail, it's a piece of plastic with a brass pin... there is a spring-loaded pin on the shift drum... don't se how it can fail
