Neutral indicator light

My neutral light on my 916 has for the first time in four years of ownership deceided it will come on when even in sixth or any gear. But not all the time. Some days its perfectly Ok others not.
Anyone got any suggestions?

I was once told that the Ducati neutral indicator light, when on, indicates that the neutral indicator light is working - not that the bike is necessarily in neutral !

Sorry I can't be more helpful......

Had a similar problem on my 748, but that was mainly not coming on, or coming on when it wanted to. Took it to Italia in Lincoln, 1 new neutral light switch (on the gear box) fitted & problem sorted

Problem now sorted - on checking I found a small oil leak from the crank breather gasket, which I've been meaning to fix for ages, was running down the back of the engine and getting into dodgy some very dodgy connections which plugged straight into the old style switch. New switch fitted that connects directly into the loom without the old style link wire and a new seal fitted on breather unit and the problem is now well sorted.

Thanks for the info received - goes to show switches on Ducatis do not always pack up - it was the wiring!sing:
