Not a clue whats wrong.

Tried to start the bike up today but did not want to know. The neutral and oil light kept going off. sometimes if you rocked the bike they came on sometimes they did not.

Last time i ran the bike i thought it had siezed. I had run it in and was giving it the beans when the power went. I pulled the clutch in quickly and there was a burning smell.The kick start moved OK and I get nothing for half an hour then it started again and i rode home very slowly! I think it ran because it had cooled down. I've had the exhausts off and one of the pistons seems to have some faint marks down it.

It a power problem but i cant figure out what, lights, horn indicators etc are all still working OK.

Any ideas anyone

I take it you have checked the spark plugs and a visual check of the loom as you said you could smell burning

Sounds electrical. Best to go through evvery wire/connector and look for bad connections/burning.

Slight marking are common, Usually obvious if it has had a partial seizure.

I had the same problem with neutral / oil lights going off and found there was a break in the blue wire under the LH engine cover where the wire comes from behind the stator and was broken where it goes through the small D shaped grommet but the bike would still run.

had the same problem and was a bad connection on neutral switch at times the light would go off and whilst light was off bike wouldn't start
not sure if both related but also needed to remove and short out the side stand switch as once it had started when put in gear the bike died
