Nuetral switch on KZ1300

Hello-newbie here
I have a kz1300 and it only starts with the clutch pulled in.The nuetral light doen not light either. I did check the bulb and it works-Is there a way to trouble shoot the nuetral switch or? I just don't want to throw parts at it(like I can find them anyway LOL)-Ive had other bikes that the clutch had to be pulled in but at least the light worked.-Is all the clutch-nuetral swith-light tied together,as far as if one don't work none of it works?
Thanks in advance for any help-This site looks awsome!

Hello, Doug, and WELCOME to KZR!
We're glad you're here!

Perhaps a wiring diagram would be helpful.
And there are several right here on site.

Find it by following a few steps as shown in the next successive posts.

Good Fortune!

In the green ribbon, point (don't click) to KZ Information.

The neutral switch is simple to check, it is an oppen and close to ground.

Click on Filebase (in the drop-down menu).

Select applicable model year. (Here, I opted for and clicked on 1982.)

Click on particular model desired.

Click on the model that shows a wiring diagram being available.

Click on "Okay" to download the wiring diagram.

Wiring diagram appears, which may be rotated, resized, etc.

Thanks guys-I grounded the wire off the nuetral switch(I assume the sensor under the shifter) and it still did'nt light up?

The neutral switch is a ground. You need to measure between the neutral switch and a hot wire.
