Hi all,

Just an update on the neutral light problem. I got sick of messing
around with my gear to get neutral. So I headed down to the local Honda
agent to have them take a look. True enough, they said that it was a
problem with the neutral swtch. Apparently, there was also a problem
with the clutch switch which exlpains why I couldn't start my bike even
when I pull in the clutch. I was pleasantly surprised when they told me
that the neutral switch cost US$9.10 and the clutch switch US$9. I said,
go change! Now the bike is back to its great self. I hope the price
info. is useful to our friend compiling the spares price list. Thanks to
all for the suggestions.

Jason
