neutral gauge light flickering, not able to start bike

ok, i have a 2001 f4 I. i fixed the ground problem by wiring a ground from the frame to the tank. Now, my neutral light flickers on and off at idle and when i hit my starter button there is nothing and the neutral light goes away. I have to push start the bike but it runs fine after starting

what ground problem did you have? check wires from neutral switch or check switch.

yes, tommorow, i will be looking at it all, i have a easy pull lever and also the kickstand bypass has been done also. this sucks because when the bike is cold it starts up and is good. but after some wheeleies and all it starts to flicker and then wont start

I have the exact same problem, the bike works fine, neutral can be found like normal when cold, once it's heated up good and I stall, it takes me like 2 mins to find the neutral, if I play with it good it will start. Pisses me off, so I did the neutral bypass to hope it will fix it but wondering if anyone is familiar with this problem if this will fix it or just patch it.
