RC8 Neutral Light Issue

RC8 Neutral Light Issue

Hi All

Wonder if anyone can spread some light on an issue I’m having on the RC8R

The neutral light is showing when the bike is actually in 1st (It also says gear 0 on the "gear selected" display
The gear selected display shows 2nd when the bike is actually in Neutral
The gear selected display also shows 2nd when the bike is actually in 2nd (which is good I suppose)

It’s also getting very difficult to find neutral.

This all started during the week after I gave the chain a good clean with Tar/Grease remover, dried off and then re-lubed. I then went on a long motorway ride from Dublin to Carrick-on-Shannon and back.
The issue first occured when I went into get petrol (Put kick stand down when stopped, thought it was in neutral. Bike nearly went through shop window lol!.)

If the bike is left for off for a while it seems to "fix/reset" itself

Any ideas whats wrong?
