    These areas are very suspect. When the rubber outer cover of the wire is cold they can give a false continuity check because the material is condensed and holding the broken pieces together. When the rubber is warm from a hot engine, the now softer material can stretch slightly and separate the inner wire core especially with a vibrating motor and the twist of the advance unit.

        Hi shopteach, It is a good preventative measure to isolate the neutral safety switch wire into its own loom. Also remove it from the Molex connector above. This mod helps when riding in wet weather or after washing misfires. Since you have the hard part done makes it an easy job.
        1980 XS1100G "Dolly G" Full Dresser (with a coat of many colors )
        1979 XS1100SF (stock-euro mods planned)
        1984 XV700L Virago (to be hot-modded)
        1983 XJ750MK Midnight Maxim (semi-restored DD)
        1977 XS650D ( patiently awaiting resto)

        Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.
