Neutral light sender went awol.

[Firerunner]

I finally got my bike running, and went on a little shakedown run today. Everything was good, except I noticed that my neutral light sending unit was missing when I got home. Now I'm worried about what else might have escaped out of the hole. Also, I don't have a neutral light, so the sender might be superfluous. Is it needed for anything else (holding in a spring or something), or could I plug the hole with a suitable bolt? If so, does anyone know what size it would be?

I can't help you too well except to say that Mikes stock them.

I looked there, and all I found was the rubber boot.

Ok, after looking on Ebay, I have another theory. I will have to get home to confirm it, unless one of you can help out. At the same time that I noticed this was missing, Neutral became unusually hard to find. Usually it isn't this bad, but I spent about ten minutes trying to find it at the same time that I noticed that the part was missing. Could the missing part be a neutral detent? It would be located next to the dipstick, an inch or so inboard on the right side of the upper case.

Dang it. I need to buy a shop manual.

Found a thread on the old board. Pamcopete answered my question. It is the detent assembly. http://xs650temp.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=sprocket&action=display&thread=524

So... anyone have a spare detent assembly?
