Tranny is working! sort of, there's no nuetral light
So, now I'm together and shifting gears once again, but my nuetral light doesn't come on when in nuetral!
Geez, when does the fun end?
I'm afraid that I may only have 5 gears too. Is that even possible? That I turned something and can only shift through 5 gears?
I need to check that one again, it's still on a stand, not quite road ready yet so maybe I didn't give it a good enough test.
Any thoughts?

You obviously didn't "step AWAY from the bike" when I asked you to...DID YOU?!?!?! 
I just don't get it BA...I just took a ZX9 appart the other day and was think...I can't believe how simple (how few parts) are in these things... 
You didn't even take it ALL appart!?!?!?
I wish I could tel-transport up there to help you...THEN make fun at you!!!

BA your problem gives me a headache just thinking about it. You have a shop manual and have assembled per it corect?

I told ya's I was a magnet for fookin' shit up!!
Hey, at least I got 5 out of 6 gears!! That's like, 83%+
Kevin, it called me back in man, it said. "Hey, take me apart and put me back together and all will be fine......"
She was really sexy about it too, I couldn't keep my hands off of her. I'm real touchy-feely like that......
You're still right though, there aren't that many parts. {{{shaking head}}}
ZHoo, I have a '.jpg' / CD version of a shop manual.....ahem, it's my back up. Was I supposed to follow the directions? It all seemed so easy......

oh yeah, I don't mind you making fun of me Kev, that's why I'm bleeding here on this open forum. lol. I have no more pride! I'm beyond pride these days.
I'm learning a lot though!
Just checked:
Definitely only 5 gears. Looks to be 1-5. still no neutral light, but I do HAVE a nuetral.
Sounds like the clutch cover is coming off again! (damn, I'm gonna need a gasket soon!)

No worries with the gasket BA (unless your like...GLUE-ING it back on??? )
We've had John's off MANY times and STILL have the original gasket...he even bought a new one over a year ago...STILL in the package to this day...
ANYWAY...you KNOW I WANT TO...make fun...ONLY after we get you FIXXXED!!!
Nuetral light?!?!?! did you take the Gear Position Thingy off the motor (left side/in front of sproket)??? if not...it sounds like the shift drum DID move over when you had it appart and that pin might have fallen out so...you DO...NOW NEED TO...take the Gear Position Sensor off to see if the spring-loaded contactor part came out of the shift drum when you had it appart...it IS simple to take off ...2 screws...that's it...just be careful when you take it off to make sure the little pin (about 1/8 to 3/16" dia. with small spring behind it) doesn't fall out and get lost...
DAMMM...I wish I could be there to help ya 
I will be working on Carl's 1317 Bottom-End tomorrow so...I WILL get a chance to see exactly what it SHOULD look like in that area...I'll post again tomorrow night...

I DID take the GPT off. (Gear Position Thingy) Since it moves through 5 gears ok where it is positioned now, shouldn't it be good enough for 6th?
I'm starting to get a thought here.......
Sounds like ANY time the drum gets rotated, without the notched thing on the star-wheel, is gonna cause a problem with seeing the nuetral light.
maybe tomorrow I can check that out......
My brain hurts, ......it's late. I'm audi.

Did some looking at my CD version of the manual at home last night...
If all three forks are in right and...the "bearing holder" that holds the shift drum and fork-rods in place is flush against the cases...AND the Gear Position Switch is all OK then...I am truly at a loss BA...
If done "by the book" it HAS TO WORK!!!
I knew a guy many years ago that used to say his brain hurt...a LOT (often)...
