Right I've just bought myself my first buell a 2005 xb9sx and am loving her!

Everything was fine until one day went to start it and nothing! everything on the dash fires up like normal apart from the neutral light which won't come on now, the only way it starts now is if I hold the clutch in.

Being new to the buell scene I'm sure it's something simple but just need a bit of advice

Cheers all

Hint* Side-stand ....


Oops, tech forum ....

Digger think you have it in 1

Or it could just be a failed neutral light switch .....so bike thinks it's in gear so won't start without clutch in .....................quite handy that feature actually .................have you ever tried linking out the clutch switch....leave the bike in gear then stand alongside it and press the start button

Thanks guys for the replies, the neutral light has decided to switch itself back on now but it occasionally flickers on and off, something obviously loose any ideas where to start looking

I'm sure as u can tell I'm completely new to the buells

Cheers for the help

there is a downloadable manual link..(from Pash )
which will steer you in the right direction

NEUTRAL SWITCH SHOULD DO IT IVE GOT A KNACKERED ONE IN THE BOTTOM OF MY TOOL BOX DID IT FOR ME

have a look at the wiring under the cover by the front pulley as you can get chaffed wires there

It could just be corrosion where the wire plugs on the neutral switch which is located behind the front pulley, if so a clean up will cure it .
The X1 light plays up at the moment ....works when cold but not when Hot
