Has anybody noticed their Neutral Indicator Light & Gear Indicator flash intermittently? It happened to me today, in 2nd & 3rd gears / 3,000 - 3,500 rpm / 25-40 mph range.

Is this a special double secret probation code or is it my first warranty issue?

Thoughts...

Regards,
Terp

Never seen the neutral indicator inappropriately on my 1125 (The one on my old Blast was on constantly). I assume though that you do know the gear indicator will go to "--" when you clutch.

Yes, the gear indicator was cycling between "--" and the engaged gear number. At the same time "--" showed on the cluster, the neutral light would illuminate.

You must have an 09 cluster on an 08, my 08 doesn't have the gear indicator. I never had a problem with the neutral light. It sounds like it could be a loose connection somewhere.

You are correct. The dealer upgraded to an 09 cluster. I rode the bike today and did not notice the flashing.

Damn gremlins!

If the gear indicator normally shows "--" when it is in neutral, then there is a good chance of a bad connection in the neutral wiring. I don't have diagrams or the cluster to test this.

It sounds like a topic during my next visit to the dealer. Thanks.
