Okay, this has never happened. New battery, have juice but for some reason the green neutral light does not come on anymore and the bike does not click or anything. Seems like there might be a blown fuse or a short somewhere.
 
Okay, from what i am reading, it could possibly be the reverse lever switch that might be causing all this.
 
Okay, I got it started. appears as though its the reverse lever like i thought. I sprayed some WD 40 into the lever switch , moved it around a little and Presto, no problem. green neutral came on and off I went.
I need to ride this bike more often.

They like to be ridden for sure.

That switch needs cleaned & lubed next time you get inspired to work, :hihihi: filter for cruse control, some other items not many do to keep things working well. :whistling:

See if it fires when the clutch is pulled..cant say i`m familiar with the 1500 but if it is like the earlier GL`s.

This won't work, the 1500 must be in neutral to fire.
