Hi. I'm having troubles. I've upgraded speedo to a smaller unit. Chinese, not sure it can be called an upgrade? When connecting LED indicators on dial of speedo( oil pressure, indicators, brights) - when connecting neutral indicator motor turns over. Is that a sign of a fault anyone has come across before? Turns over when I turn ignition key on. Thanks

Are you connecting the green/black from the neutral switch instead of the light green/black for the neutral light?

After reading some posts I thought I better check the starter switch. Also chinese. It gets stuck every few pushes. Opened it up. Switch quality is rough and was sticking. Scraped smooth and a drop of ptfe it's working. I appreciate the quick reply above! Next problem headlights stopped working. Hopefully I'll find the problem.

Light circuit goes from the right lighting switch, through one of the fuses at the hanlebar clamp emerging as a blue/white wire. This goes across to the beam switch. Coming out of the beam switch are white {low} and blue {high} wires heading for the headlight.

Check for power at the fuse and at the blue/ white going into the beam switch.

Some stuff here.
