Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech tail light issues and oil leak

On the cell phone, the search isn't workn for me.

My tail light is staying on intermittently, more so than no. Disconnected front switch, I know its sothing in the rear, full of fluid, pretty sure that the rear is not sticking. These linr pressure light switches go bad often enough? Anyone have this issue due to a worn disk or pads perhaps?

I really don't want to replace the switch but its looking that way.

And I'm dripping oil from my neutral switch, haven't tried anything yet but anyone and any insight there too?

I had a neutral switch go bad, the bike wouldn't start. I got a used but functional replacement from PinWall in Ohio for $6 and $13.95 shipping.

mine is bypassed but the actual where it goes in is leaking oil. If I remember right it has crush washer, so Im not overly concerned about that fix.

The front light switch is just a micro switch that is relatively inexpensive. When mine acted up, I removed it and pulled it apart, cleaned the contacts and put it back together. That was a couple of years ago. Still no issues.

Found that was a touch loose, ill give the leak a day two to see if that fixed that. But my tail light issue is regarding the rear switch, my fronts good in the hood.
