Default 400ex neutral problem

my new 400ex wont start in neutral? the green neutral indicator doesnt work either anymore?

is there a fuse or something, the thing will only start with the clutch in regardless of if it is in gear or not. any suggestions?

There is a fuse, but if it starts in neutral, it is not the problem. There is a safety switch in the clutch lever. Check the wires in and out of it. You might need a new clutch perch or the switch that goes in it.

HELLO, I JUST FIXED ONE OF THESE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM,ON THE LEFT SID OF THE MACHINE (AS YOU ARE SITTING ON IT) BY THE FRONT SPROCKET THERE IS A WIRE, IF YOU PULL OFF THE WIRE, THERE IS A BRASS NEUTRAL SAFTEY SWITCH, CHANGE IT WITH A NEW ONE AND THE PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED.

there should be a wire connecting to the gear box, wigle it a bit if the connection is bad there, that is the problem.
