    Electrical oddities game

    So I got my GSX400 running yesterday but I have some odd electrical weirdness going on. I haven’t had time to look into them so full disclosure I have done no troubleshooting on these yet but I plan to. So here is the list of things. Let’s see if you guys can figure it out before I do.
    - Front break switch working in reverse (IE break light Is on when the handle is not pulled in but turns off when I press the break (Rear is fine))
    - Same issue with the clutch switch. Can’t start the bike with the clutch in but with the clutch open bike will start.
    - Neutral light states on in 1st and 2nd gear although the light is not as bright as it is when in neutral .
    I have installed all LEDS but everything worked before I took it apart. Additionally not all the connections on the headlight bucket and other parts are connected such as Turn signals ETC. The chain and clutch cable are also not on the bike

      The original neutral light - maybe 3 watts- maybe had same problem with slight current leak to 1 and 2 but it wasn't visible. Now with a LED, that small current leak could be enough to make LED sorta glow. Try cleaning the switch.

          I agree too

          Switch should be very easy to clean once you get under the sprocket cover, might be wise to buy a new O ring for it first in case you find it in less than pristine condition which is quite likely...

              If I remember correctly (it has been a while), there is a spring-loaded contact, but it won't fly very far if you remove it slowly.
