Why is the neutral light of Motor 125 not on?

The reasons why the neutral light of Motor 125 is not on include damage or poor contact of the gear display switch on the engine, damage to the gear display bulb or gear display on the instrument panel, and broken wires or poor contact between the gear display switch and the gear display. Motorcycle neutral coasting: Neutral coasting on a motorcycle does not harm the vehicle. However, when coasting in neutral, the motorcycle is out of the engine's control, equivalent to being in an "out-of-control state." In case of an emergency, it is not easy to handle properly, which is unfavorable for safe driving and may lead to traffic accidents. Other aspects: For motorcycles with a circulating gear, there is a possibility of accidentally shifting into first gear while coasting in neutral, which can cause severe engine lugging. This not only poses a risk of dangerous falls but may also damage the engine.
The neutral light on my motorcycle isn't working. As a rider with years of experience, I can share some insights. The most common issue is a burnt-out bulb—small bulbs in 125cc models are prone to filament breakage due to rough roads or aging. Next are wiring problems, like loose connections, short circuits, or a blown fuse between the neutral switch and the light assembly. Once, I encountered a blown fuse, and replacing it fixed the issue. Sometimes, a faulty neutral sensor can also cause the light to stay off. Start with simple checks: open the seat to inspect the fuse box and see if the relevant fuse is intact. If it's fine, check the bulb and wiring. Avoid tampering with the wiring yourself—it can make things worse. It's best to have proper tools or a buddy assist. Safety-wise, a non-functional light might lead to misjudging gears and causing an accident, so getting it fixed at a repair shop early is the way to go.
