Neutral switch problems

New to the forum, heres a problem Im having. When I first start the bike in the morning with it in neutral and stand down the neutral light will be illuminated while engine still cool, BUT then once the bike gets warmed up the bike will no longer have the neutral light illuminated when its in neutral unless the bike is leaning to the left like way left

Have you tried pulling the bulb and cleaning the contacts and\or checking to see if it is fully seated in the plug?

+1 - Yup, if it continues to run with the kick stand down and the neutral light out, then it's not the switch.

NO the bike wont stay on with the stand down after warm up. I just dont understand why it only does it after warm up and but also the bike AFTER WARM UP the light will illuminate if i lean the bike to the left.>?

Most likely because the switch is on the left side of the bike? And since the neutral switch is either gummed up or faulty, it won't run on the sidestand, as the clutch/sidestand switch in conjunction with the faulty switch will kill the bike, thinking it's in gear...

Pull the wired connector from the switch straight out of the lower left side of the engine case. Shoot it with elec. contact cleaner, plug it back in. Should be OK after that.
