My starter switch does not work. Starter turns if solenoid is jumped. Spark plug will not fire either. Checked all switches, fuses and cleaned all connections. The switch and run/off switch along with the ignition switch tested good. I feel as if i am running out of options. Can someone help me out?

Make sure your neutral light is on. The unit will turn not over with the starter button or not fire unless the CDI sees neutral.
If the neutral light switch is bad, it van be grounded out, green wire with a red stripe.
The switch (sender) is under the small tin engine cover just inside the right footrest on the lower side of the engine.

Hope this helps ya

hey i have the same problem with my bike it wont start with electric start and the netural light wont come on what can i do

[Spougo]

I just bought a new switch from honda and that fixed it for me.

[bigowens]

how much do they run for and are they hard to insatll

[Spougo]

I bought a neutral and reverse switch and they were about $50 for both (neutral and reverse switch). They are down on the lower right side of the crankcase and a 14mm socket changed out mine. Not to difficult at all. I dont know if i had too or not but i jacked up the right side of the wheeler so no oil would spill out, if it does.
