For some reason the neutral light comes on when I pull in the clutch no matter what gear im in. The light still works like it should, showing neutral when I am in neutral with clutch not pulled. Also it wont start if the clutch isn't pulled in even if it is in neutral gear.

It started immediately after burning a new map to the ecm. Anybody dealt with this problem ?
 
Check to make sure your diode is turned the right direction. (Little fuse-looking dude with an arrow on top).
 
I had the same problem, just changed out the neutral switch, it's really easy and pretty cheap.
SEE Fig. #3

coastie nailed it for ya and i say that because my cityX was randomly activating neutral light, every now and then starter wouldn't engage. it was the switch going bad. it's behind the front pulley cover as i recall.
 
It's a switch with a spring loaded ball bearing connected to a switch, when you are in neutral the the spring pushes against the ball bearing causing the switch to close the circuit and illuminate the light.
 
turned out the DIODE was in backwards !!! easy fix thanks guys !! :)

must of popped out when my buddy was checking the fuses.. when removing the top to the fuse box, it has a tendency to hit that diode up since the diode is so tall and near that edge.
 
Thanks coastie rider, I was trying to find the neutral switch for awhile now.
Your picture solved that. Changed the switch and the bike is working perfectly. Thanks again.
