Hi all,

I've got a strange issue with my '94 Transalp, let me explain and see if one of you can point me where to look.

Current state:

Connect both wires to clutch switch - Neutral stay on in all gears.
remove one cable bike works as normal, the light goes out when shifting to first and blips on as you go up to second.
Switch the cables light stays on full time (btw both cables are dark green no difference)
bike running in first gear on the main stand, flick side stands down yellow light comes on bike continues to run.

New state:
Replace clutch switch, connect both wires, shits to first engine dies (neutral light goes out)
I've tried with switch depressed and not, the same result.

Any ideas where to look next?

I could just remove the cable that lights up the neutral but its bugging me that there is an underlying problem.

Any advice welcomed.

Matt

Confirmed side stand is up and no light showing.

maybe diode is broken? not sure if your bike have it?

 

[Mattcons]

do you happen to have a part number for the diode? is it something I can buy and replace?

hi. I have diode (silicon rectifire) on honda africa 750. not sure if you even have one on your transalp. just wanted to give you idea what can cause the problem... you would need to wait for someone who knows more about transalp as I don't won't you to spend money unnecessary...
