    It's in a recessed area directly in the bottom of the crankcase, just outside the oil pan "rail", on the left side of the engine. Hard to see or get at with the exhaust still on the bike. Almost directly above the frame tube.

    You'll know the difference between the bulb and a disconnected neutral switch. IF you can't use the starter, but can push start the bike, then you have a disconnect neutral switch.
