Re: RID on '94 RS

[Robert Silas <robert.silas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,
Thanks for this info.  I will have to change the neutral switch anyway, so if the combined switch isn't in place I will install one, just in case I can find an inexpensive RID with the panel.

  >Bob - 

  You may indeed already have BOTH the neutral switch and gear position
  sensor installed on your tranny, so that EVERTHING you need (except that
  RID itself and the fairing panel) is on the bike ready to begin working
  with the RID.  My '94 RS is an early Beta bike, as I believe yours is also.
  My bike had everything necessary to install the RID except the actual
  display unit and the right interior fairing panel with the display cutout. 
  The installation is pretty expensive, but I'm glad I installed the RID two
  days after we removed the bike from the shipping crate in January, 1994.
