It's payback time...
I thought I should give something back to the Forum, so here's a little technical write up. Please note that wrenching is not my profession, and english is not my native tongue...
I searched up & down to find why my gear indicator was showing rubbish. Most opinions were regarding the 1150, and most reported problems involved water ingress of some kind. Well, my problems started after clutch replacement, and any potential beer spills still haven't dried out. The drive shaft needs replacement, so I might as well do it...
Firstly, forget trying your luck without removing the swing. No 9" fingers will help you on the 1100. Swing out!
The two connectors of interest are located here.
And the actual switches are located here.
The neutral switch is closest to the gear box. The gear position indicator sits piggy back on it. The are both operated by a shaft with a crescent cut-out and held in place by two small bolts (7 or 8 mm, can't remember).
After removing the bolts you can pull the outer switch straight out. A little wiggling helps. If you pull the inner switch this will happen:
Thats right... Drain the gear oil before you remove that one... There is one outer and one inner oil seal preventing the slippery black stuff from finding you rear wheel...
