Premium Member norcal616 Posted October 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted October 18, 2017 ..its not that hard to locate it... its right behind the 2 upper bolts holding the sprocket covet in place... see yellow circle in picture... the bike in picture is an FJ-09, but location is darn near identical... and for the eagle eyed peeps, yes the green tube with red ish fluid is for an "auto oiler" which I know nothing about... 3 1 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member motomeek Posted October 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted October 18, 2017 Had the same issue before, dirty sensor. It's doing it again, so need I to go back and clean it again.

c3tkeyo Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Haven’t gotten to it yet, been traveling a ton for work. Next rainy weekend it’s on the list, which should be soon since I live in Portland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3tkeyo Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Should have asked this before but how exactly do I clean it properly? Didn’t want to unscrew it since I wasn’t sure what would potentially come pouring out. Front sprocket and chain guide guide are clean now at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front sprocket and chain guide guide are clean now at least nothing will "pour out"...maybe a few dribbles of oil... I take a clean clean rag and wipe out the sensor housing hole, then use another clean clean part of the rag to wipe the sensor face off... I then put a thin gloss coat of the clear grease across the sensor face... I should have taken a few more pics last year but I haven't done it yet on my FJ-09, so I just may wander over to the garage and do it 🙈 for some pictures 1 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinyribs Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Is that a speed sensor ( for the speedo) or a gear position sensor? I'm not understand how a speed sensor would have any bearing on the gear position indicator. I mean, the gear position will change regardless if you are rolling or not.

c3tkeyo Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Looks like 4th gear is still twitchy.... guess I’ll do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaotic680 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I'm having the exact same problem! 2015 FZ-07 with 10k miles on it, 4th gear either disappears from the dash or it flashes on/off - and it happens only when in 4th. I just had the bike serviced over the weekend and they said there's no diagnostics they can run at this point, other than throwing parts at it, but they said that'd be dumb. They also mentioned something about this bike having issues with MPG dropping after a while, but that's off-topic (though the real reason I came to search the boards today, still interesting to see someone else having the same issue with 4th gear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3tkeyo Posted April 3, 2019 Author Share Posted April 3, 2019 Now all gears don't show, only occasionally do I get the gear indicator. I've cleaned it a few times, doesn't seem to help at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyribs Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) It looks like Yamaha calls that "Neutral Switch Assy" instead of gear position sensor or whatnot. It's $40 from Partzilla, so not too awful expensive if it needs replacing.

Works like a champ now, took 10 minutes tops to fix it. Found a good video on YouTube 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator sorkyah Posted October 29, 2019 Global Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2019 If you're still under warranty, the shop should just replace it I think I've had mine replaced like 4-5 times But recently just used some ultrafine grit sandpaper 5-8k and hasn't had an issue since 14 hours ago, c3tkeyo said: I removed the sensor and sanded down the contact points with 600 grit sand paper and reinstalled.

Mimo750 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Sorry to revive this topic, but i have the same problem too. Gear indicator randomly dissapears, its not steady, some days it stays on some other it dissapears. Also lately the neutral light 'N' is not lighting too. I did the trick with the sanding paper 2 times total but with no avail the problem is still there. Finally do i need to replace the neutral cable assy with a new one?

Premium Member maybe07 Posted June 12, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted June 12, 2021 My 2015 FZ-07 has had this gear indicator problem for about two years. It's been about the same level of blank gear display, hasn't got any worse. I can't really tell if it's related to heat or speed. Sometimes it displays fine. I'm not going to clean it or replace it.

Yeah i guess i'm already used to no gear indicator but no neutral light is kinda pissing me off because i have to always check with the clutch if the bike is in neutral. Might go to the service guys and tell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
