[Ducati] Cranky Neutral Light

[Ronald Betts]

Funny timing Scott....I got on my 95 900 SP this morning and the neutral 
light wont come on even if it is in neutral. But my problem is a bad bulb. 
First bulb I've had to replace , with the exception of the head light, since 
I bought her in june of 95.



Peace...Ron"Desmohead"Betts 95 900 SP
I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it!
