I didn't think so either but I talked to the Honda Dealer in Bedford (M & E Honda) and he asked me which side it fell on. I told him that it fell over to the left side and he said there was some wiring related to the neutral light on that side and he knew of a few cases where a 'drop' to the left side did affect the neutral starting interlock. He said a wire might have been pinched or cut or that a connection might have been partially separated?I do know that I never hadthis problem before and if I had the problem I would never have taken the trip until I had it repaired.The problem may be the reverse diode assembly (below right side of the trunk) or related wiring. It is probably not related to the incident.
Thanks I'll try that if I can find it? Do you need to take off the top shelter to access the con,nector?There is one connector on the left side by the fuel tank that may be involved 3 pin red connector on a bracket with several other small connectors. pretty much everything else is on the right side.
Now that makes sense, I'll try that too. I don't remember for sure but I think that I am getting the amber reverse light "R"when I switch the key on and the green Neutral Light does not light up. I don't remember if it came on momentarily before or not? ThanksBehind the reverse lever is a neutral safety switch, same as you have on your clutch lever and side stand. It may have come loose or misaligned from the jolt.With the ignition on move and or wiggle the lever and see if the neutral light comes on, and that the bike starts. You may need to remove the switch for a proper inspection, (not difficult)and or cleaning. Mine got gummed up recently and gave me the same grief. A little WQD40 fixed it right up.
