My previous 1500 had the same problem. Seems like the reverse lever mechanism makes intermittent contact with the neutral light microswitch. Sometimes it would come on, but mostly not. You could either jump start it or bump start it OK.
A mechanic friend bypassed the switch and I had no problems afterwards, EXCEPT the bike will start in GEAR! Had to remember to pull the clutch in before cranking.
