YerGuy,

Thanks for pointing me at that thread. I was suspecting a bad ground somewhere in the circuit already. I've already isolated all the components I could. Jumper on the clutch switch, sidestand up, tested the switch on it, new neutral switch, cleaned the main earth at the alternator.

The symptoms are a little different than yours were. My headlight cut-out doesn't activate. With the key on, everything is lit up like a christmas tree, when the starter button is depressed, there is no change whatsoever. The kill switch and starter button have good continuity, the loop is broken somewhere between point A and B.

Like I said, it's probably the same issue you had, just in a different place on the harness.

As a side note, in your earlier thread you had a dealer problem... Have you tried Rocket Motorcycles here in San Diego? I can't say enough good about that shop. I stopped in there to buy the factory manual yesterday. (guess what chapter I was interested in) It's all good and fine that they have the manual and a neutral switch in stock- the difference is that he says to call him if I need any advice or have a question.

Unheard of, and a welcome change from what I've experienced in the past. I think the difference is that they sell only Triumph and KTM from a small showroom and service them from a shop 3 times the size of the showroom. Definitely a smaller "enthusiast" shop rather than a dealership.
