It seems the last few days I have ridden my quad, when I shut the motor off, the neutral light will stay on. If I shut it off in gear, it will just shut off and no lights will remain on. The neutral light will stay on for a half hour or more. (That's the longest I let it so far) All I have done to clear the light has been to shift it in to gear.

Today, when I was done riding, I loaded the quad in the trailer. When I pulled it in, I turned it off by the handlebar switch. I did not turn the key off yet. I then went on to load up my boys bikes, and when I got back in the trailer, my quads fan was on. Was that intermittant, or did it do that because I just got done riding a few hot laps and the key was on, but the handlebar switch was off?

Just wondering if I have some sort of electrical issue going on or if this is just my mind playing games with me. Thanks, Craig

sounds like an electrical problem. My neutral light only stays on for maybe a minute. The fan never kicks on when I turn the handlbar killswitch off either.

My fan will run with the handle bar switch off and key on. Neutral light stays on about a minute after key is turned off.
