It appears to be coming from a module that has a wire going to it behind the oil filter under the bike. I believe that this is the neutral safety switch...can someone here confirm my suspicion? Is there anything I should know about changing this unit...or is there a fix that doesn't require removal/replacement? Thanks for any info you can provide... Rob

Super helpful though, and I'm due for an oil change anyway. Time to call the dealer and order it...

Took me a while to find it as well Rob. Control and Brake Section? Then under gear change pedal section? Dang that was hard to find. Okay I didn't find it that way. Instead, I googled "triumph america neutral switch" and found the Triumph part number on the www.worldoftriumph.com site. Used that to search the bandit with. Reverse searches come in handy.
