No neutral light

Got to the end of my street. Motor cut out

new battery. Lots of juice. Turn ignition on. No neutral light and the gear indicator is just showing a horizontal line.
Starter won’t cut in. Can’t bump start it.
I am thinking the neutral safety switch has malfunctioned and killed the ignition circuit.
Anyone have any similar occurrences?
When I get home I will check the fuses. If anyone knows where the switch is I would appreciate any advice. If not I will dig around to find the switch and ground it out to see if it comes back to life.

 

You can download the service manual from here: https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index...014-2015-vfr800f-rc79-8th-gen-service-manual/

The gear position switches are on page 437.

 

nevertheless, you should be able to start it in any gear as long as the clutch lever is pulled in, right ?

switch is located at rear of clutch housing cover, low and just inboard of the right footpeg. could be a loose connection.

 

Update. Easiest fix ever. Blown fuse. Hope it’s a one off occurrence

 

I'll bet when you got to the end of your street And applied the brake would have been when that fuse blew.
Have a close look at your brake light operation. Is there any chance the front brake switch connections could be touching the handle bar riser, creating a short?
Take note if the fuse blows again, was it when brakes applied.

 

Funnily enough I had exactly this problem with my indicators on my 5th gen recently. I had to put the stock bars back on and had the reservoir rotated down too far. Took the fuse out quickly, and repeatedly until I moved the reservoir out. Fortunately this only affected the indicators, stop/tail and horn.
