Courtesy Bike

Hello again fellow crashee's, and hello to those who are luckier

So, i've got my courtesy bike - a nice 650 bandit. Oooo Fuel Injection, so easy to start. Now, I went for a ride to aquaint myself with this beast, and noticed that after 10 miles of riding, the neutral light would not come on (but the bike was in neutral).

Who should I tell? Shall I ring my insurers (carol nash) since they organised the bike for me?

whoever delivered it Matt. I had a fair few issues with the loaners i had but the guys i dealt with were pretty good about sorting them out.

Bit of WD40 (or better) on the gear lever mechanism to make sure it is self centering might sort it & if so, be less hassle.

That could be it - the neutral light comes on when the bike is cold, but when its properly warmed it dosnt come on, yet when i click into neutral, it does flash. I'll give it a good spray, and probably do some other bits. The bike certainly isnt as tidy in some area's as my SV!

but noticably alot more tidy in other area's at the moment
