I just looked at mine. The connection is a two wire one with one red and white wire and one brown wire. Same colours on the speedo side and the harness side. If that's any help.

OK, I was working on my Electra-X this afternoon, removing the right-foot rear brake pedal and shaft, and had to lay alongside the rear of the bike on the left-hand side to undo something, and found that I could reach the neutral indicator light switch quite easily with the primary chaincase still fitted.



In your case, papasmurf, I would suggest that you ask an able-bodied friend or willing relative to undertake this for you, unless you have access to a bike lift which will put the bike up to a comfortable working height for you to do the job.



Hope that helps.

Hi Adrian I see no point in Cov Lad even trying to remove the switch, if the bike will start the switch is working, so leave it alone. If the bike won't start then he would have to look at it as a possible cause. My guess is the bulb has blown

Adrian, thanks, it is not accessing the switch that is the problem, there is not enough clearance to unscrew it enough to take it out.

I would still have been able to get a socket in there, maybe a very slim ring spanner, though I'd probably have to cut the wire and re-connect it afterwards. Unfortunately my lowly vantage point also revealed some oil trickling down the back of the left-side fork slider, I will need to order some new seals.

Adrian there is not enough space to get the switch out, due to the length of thread on it.

Well there you go I have never seen that switch before, every one I have seen before had the wire with an eylet on the end and that was attached to the switch with a screw. I'm tipping the switch shown is for a later UCE model

Thanks Adrian, see I'm not going nuts, one multimeter prong on the screw, the other prong on the gearbox body set to ohms and move shifter through the gears and that will test the switch

Well the switch I showed a picture of is what is in my Electra X
