Flashing neutral light

Postby 6maniac » Thu Mar 07, 2013 6:12 pm

2008 Z750 ..

While on recent Tas trip, I had the neutral light come on intermittently, and of varying brightness, while riding.

Had ridden in constant rain the day before. Hasn't happened since ....

Any thoughts ??

Curious why it hasn't happened before - I've ridden in worse, without any issues ..
