I know the Foreman needs to be in Neutral to start, but I didn't know the little green light had to actually be on . . . Found that out a few days ago.

Under the right rear fender there are a few sets of wires. Two of them in one harness are for the reverse (i think) and the neutral light. A stick must've snagged the neutral wire and pulled it out because when I shut the machine off and tried to start it again, it wouldn't turn over. The bike WAS in neutral but the light wasn't on. After searching for 10 minutes I found this loose wire, made contact with it's connecting wire and I was on my way . . . Just thought someone may want to know.

P.S. The pull start doesn't work either if the neutral light is not on . . .

 

That makes sense. This is the same wire that you would wire a grounded switch to if you wanted to add a start-in-gear switch. Was it the green wire with a red stripe?

 

Where can I get a start in gear kit ? And how difficult would it be to install ? That's one thing I dislike about my Foreman is the fact it has to be in neutral to start . I was hoping there was something that could just be disconnected . Thanks for any info .
