GIPro gear indicator

Having fitted my new GiPro gear indicator ( No TRE model ) several weeks ago, I finally got the chance to take the bike for a bit of a spin on the mainland yesterday. All was going well until I noticed that when I pulled up at traffic lights and put the bike into neutral, the Gipro showed 0 ( good ), but my green neutral light did not come on. This happened several times. When I stopped the bike the green light worked as it should. Maybe a dirty contact somewhere ?  It does not really worry me as I can look at the GiPro to know that I am in neutral. Has anyone else struck this ?

It's a well known issue. Oil gets into the gear position switch. I cleaned mine repeatedly with success but have recently replaced it as the problems recurred with increasing frequency. Symptoms are no neutral light until the side stand goes down, and a lot of "0" from gears 4 to 6.  Without the GiPro you'd not notice. 

Cleaning it is simple. Full details here:

I have replaced the switch on my GSF with a later model GSX one. They don't seem to have the same issues. I think the gear position issues may also impact on what map the ECU selects.

Cheers for that Kewwig. Will put that on the to do list.

The GSF1250 part is 37730-18H01 but I ordered number 37730-18H02, which is the later switch for the GSX1250FA with the identical engine.  Works perfectly and I am hoping the different part number means Suzuki made it more reliable.   I have not seen any GSX owners reporting issues.  The switch looks much the same but the central axle is a slightly different construction so they are not identical.

Fix done.
