    Getting tired of posting Three different groups. Got a 83 250
    nigthhawk. Reves up fine while in gear. Put it in neutral and try to
    rev it up, it bogs down. Any answers "?????????????

    Does the neutral light actually go on when the transmission is in
    neutral? What happens when you wiggle the sidestand while it's
    retracted?

    Study the wiring diagram in the back of your owner's manual. It might
    have something to do with the safety interlock switch that kills the
    engine if you let the clutch out with the transmission in gear and the
    sidestand is down.

    It could just be dirty contacts in the sidestand switch.

    Especially study any logic diodes in the safety interlock system. They
    will look like black arrowheads on the wiring diagram. Maybe a
    switching diode is shorted out?

    Thanks for the reply. Never thought about anything like that. It sure
    is entirely possible though. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks
