Breadsnapper Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 It is common for these to not show neutral particularly when hot. Unfortunately the bike thinks it is in gear when it doesn't show neutral. just pull the clutch and it should start ok. The batteries appear to be on the small side and if it is slightly under voltage or cold it will only start on the kick. I had one of these and got an Oxford charger for it and then it started every time on first turn.Hope this helpsDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglesbo Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 It is either a fuse or an earth problem as stated in origional post not battery as tried with known working battery and powerbank jumper Bike knows when its in neutral as it shows when kickstarted -----------thnx LES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fro Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Not having a neutral light is not an MOT failure. Also, it doesn't need the engine running to perform the test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglesbo Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 Many thanks for that will not put the battery on when i send to m o t ---Will talk to the garage before sending to see the cost of repair many thanks for taking the time to postregards LES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breadsnapper Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Might be the switchgear in the right hand side. If it is on the originals they are poor quality. As far as I can remember there is only one fuse which is under the seat so in theory if it's blown nothing should work. There is also the starter solenoid under there too. I'd check all the connections as a start then look to the right hand switch. I have just remembered I had the same fault when I first got mine and changed both.

Mr Fro Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Many thanks for that will not put the battery on when i send to m o t You'll need the battery on so they can test the lights etc. Also, if they kick start it, it could damage the electrickery without a battery in the system.Just explain to the tester that the starter isn't working and that they'll need to kick it.
