Default Intermittent Neutral Light

The 'N' light on my K2 is playing up. Intermittently goes off, meaning it's on most of the time irrespective of gear, and flashes off for a millisecond over each bump. Sounds like a loose wire, but surely a loose wire wouldn't turn it on, but turn it off. Can someone give me some tips where to start wiggling?

Thanks

The neutral light is always live, it's earth side is touched onto the engine case in neutral. Thus if the wire from the light to the switch has damaged insulation, and were to touch to earth the light would come on. Look for damaged to that wire, I reckon you'll find some.
