Hi everyone I have 2000 1500 se with reverse starter wont tun over. Nutral light will not turn on all other lights on dash work. I checked all fuses and relays that i could find. Not sure where to go from here? I even tried starting it buy pulling in on clutch in and out of gear and still nothing. When i hit the start but button the head light dims and i can hear the starter relay click but that is all. It can push start and runs good. Please help me thanks.

I know my 1500 did this once, I had to mess with the linkage that the reverse lever activates. I just kept wiggling & moving things & it finally worked. Try moving the lever several times, move bike a bit in gear, & such things. It is possible that you have a relay giving trouble but that is what I would start with. Keep us informed.

was your nutral light not coming on

No it was not bluegw. That's why I think you have a similar situation going on. Mine happened when I test drove my bike, stopped put it in reverse, backed up, stopped again, gingerly lowered the lever & that is when it happened. The guy I bought the bike from & I messed with it like I said for about 15 minutes. It finally cleared, Neutral light came on. From that time out I always lowered the reverse lever with authority & made sure that it snapped down.

Never had an issue after that. Good Luck.

I would try what the Fossil suggested. My 93 did it a few time years ago and I was toldget a little rough with the reverse lever up and down. That cleared it up. But that was years ago.

Assuming I understand the problem... lights on, starter won't turn over or engine won't start... I always check the obvious first... is the choke on (is it in the down position) and has it been on while you've been riding?

There is a switch that is activated by the cam on the reverse lever itself, check if it is adjusted correctly, also that the connectors are clean and tight.

thanks everyone for all the info on my problem after about two hours of disassembly and three hours of testing every thing under the sun it is finaly fixed. I found out it was the switch on the lever i took it apart and filed the contacts and fix it with no money spent

Glad that it all worked out. The GWOF works again.

Ride Safe.
