If you bridge out the diode and have retained the neutral lamp and clutch switch functions then the neutral lamp will illuminate every time you pull-in the clutch lever.

Does your bike start ok when the clutch lever is pulled in but fails to start when in neutral?

Hi Magg cheers for the info, i do have netral lamp im not sure i have the clutch switch anymore i will have to go check later, so it would not cause me any hastles or break anything by bridgeing out the diode wires? as i say its a track bike so im just keen to get it out there. i will go and check if i have a clutch switch or not is it on lever? cheers magg
