This may be silly but here it goes. Is it normal for the neutral light to flash when shifting from 1st to second and downshifting from 2nd to 1st? I never had this happen on the Suzuki GS500E. I am just curious.

Thanks

yes.

Remember, shifting into first, you shift down. Shifting into second, you shift up. Basically you are shifting throught the neutral position for a split second, so the light will flash for a second.

Thanks. I have had 3 bikes and this is the first that "I can remember" that does this.

At least I know that I am not going crazy.

I've never noticed mine do that. Maybe if you shift slow?

I never noticed it on my 1G but it is very obvious on my 2G. I might just be riding this one more at night when it is more obvious...

Yep, I've noticed the neutral light between shifts from 1st to 2nd. Doesn't happen a lot, but this is nothing to be concerned about.
