My FZ1 had a theft attempt recently. They could not break the steering lock ironically, but they certainly tried! Handlebars are bent.
State of the bike after the attempt:
- Bent handlebars
- Ignition wires all cut, stripped the red, brown, and orange connections (you can start the bike like this, messed with it when we fixed it)
- Loosened the brake fluid tube (no idea why they did this)
- One piece of blue painters tape on the handlebar center (also wtf?)
- Neutral light no longer comes on, can't start the bike in neutral with sidestand down, starts fine with it up and clutch in (as expected)
We took the time to get the handlebars 'good enough' with resetting forks to match. It's not terrible/critical, but I'll probably swap the handlebars at some point. Properly redid the wiring with solder and made individual sheathes for every wire and then an overall sheathe covering all the wires.
At this state the bike is perfectly fine, took it for a 380mi run yesterday. I'm lost as to why the neutral indicator is out though, nothing else shorted and according the manual there is no fuse for the neutral light/switch.
Is there a service manual or can someone point me in the right direction to find the neutral switch (if it exists)?
The owners manual mentions nothing (or I overlooked it).
Any help with be appreciated! Thanks!
