its possible that the neutral switch being broke would cause the starter switch not to work properly. if the switch isnt working the light might not work.

Even after swapping the neutral sensor it still didn't work. So I decided to pull the reverse sensor and found some broken wires that were under the casing that ran right behind the swing arm. After repairing the wires I now have working neutral and reverse lights and the electric start works perfect. So it seems the reverse sensor is the main wiring for that whole system.

i'm glad it worked out for ya man. hard to believe a couple of broken wires can cause that much trouble.
