Short story is I bought a ratty 2005 FZ6 from a guy that laid it down to the point that the speedo is gone and the ignition has been relocated. I'm close to putting an aftermarket speedo and tach on the bike but am wondering about the neutral signal. I have found the below hack that the PO did but im not sure what it is and what it does. Is this my neutral safety switch? Id like to replace it if it is. The spliced wire is coming from the blue connection.

Can't comment for the first two pictures, but the last two pictures seems to be showing the wire to the side stand switch. It seems to have been ripped off and wired together to allow the engine to start. Here is a pic from mine which shows how it's wired to the side stand switch.

The first two pics were of the blue connection that the wires in the bottom two pics come from. The side stand safety switch makes sense, thank you! Any idea where the neutral safety switch is?

IIRC it is above the swing arm on the top of the transmission. A single wire and the sensor is visible if looking up and forward past the shock.
