Neutral Light
Had a good day of progress - got my enigne wired up and it turns over (haven't done a full start yet as there's one or two things to do
prior to that)
I'm using the original bike clocks but the neutral light won't come on. What could be the cause of this?
The gearbox is in neutral as the sprocket can turn freely and I've been through all the gears to check it's in the right place

Most neutral switches switch to earth - is the engine earthed?
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Loose wire or broken connection would be my bet.
Does the bulb in the clocks work? Can you test it by sticking 12V across it (assuming its a bulb and not a complex series of electronics)?
The ZZR neutral light has a 12v feed to the lamp, then a switched route to earth. Basically the wire goes from the lamp to a connector just beneath
the sproket. That connector is insulated and goes through the engine casing onto a disc on the end of the gearbox selector drum. That has a C shape
of insulating material on it, so when you are in gear the light is off. When you are in neutral the gap in the insulation lines up with the
connector, you get a route to earth and the N light comes on. I can test my neutral light by taking the wire off the connector and touching the
chassis.
I realise the R1 may work differently, but this might help.

Neutral light is wired through the sky blue/white wire in the clock loom. Earth this and it should light it up. 12v feed to it goes in via the brown
wire in the clock loom. Switch is a single blue wire connector on top of the box (not a very positive fit and easy to miss). If it turns over then its
probably not the switch (unless you've altered it).
