SURVIVOR
A friend had a problem with his neutral light not going out on his 06 F650GS. It would occasionally flicker, but generally stayed on. Attempts to diagnose the problem were fruitless until by accident it was noticed that the light flickered when he adjusted the rear shock. He removed the adjuster from the frame and this is what he found.
I just checked my wife's 07 F650GS and found this.
The chaffing was just getting serious. It had penetrated the tape holding the loom together, but had not penetrated any of the individual wire coatings.... lucky me.
This is the fix I came up with.
I first wrapped the loom with friction tape, then the wire protector pictured and finally I wrapped the protector in friction tape.
It is worth a quick check to see if you have some chaffing. Rmoving the shock adjuster is a 2 minute job.
