Recently I noticed that when I shift my F4 into neutral, it doesn't exactly stay. It is not slipping back into gear, however, the neutral light sort of sputters on and off- if I try to put the kickstand down the bike itself starts to sputter and sometimes dies as the kickstand/ gear safety cuts in.

This doesn't happen when I first start the bike, but usually if I've been on it for a while, and am looking to turn it off...It doesn't always happen either, but occasionally.

The bike runs like a champ otherwise, no gear slippage on the road, shifts great...

just wondering if this is something anybody else has dealt with. could it be electrical, or should I be concerned about the transmission/clutch?...

thanks

 

Could also be neutral switch. If it's starting to go out it could be telling ignition that bike is in gear and kills motor when kickstand is down.

 

Ya its most likely the neutral indicator switch.
