My neutral light stays dimly lit when the bike is in any gear. It goes noticeably brighter in neutral. I've read other posts and tried an oil flush today. I also cleaned the outside of the switch with contact cleaner, around the wire.I noticed this happened right after i added some Lucas oil additive to the crankcase, just a couple of glugs, about 10 days ago. Since then, i added about 6 ounces MMO when the oil needed topping up, ran about 200 miles, then just changed oil today. It was Motul semi-synthetic in the bike, which had one change since i got it this year, after sitting for about 4 months. The bike has 60k km on it. The oil was pretty inky, black. Put 10w40 Castrol GTX in instead, and it runs real smooth now, shifts great, but neutral light is still on.
