Neutral light switch out of position on a 500 - what to do?

[Laverdaton]

When the bike is in neutral the light is not on (ignition on).

If I slightly raise the gearlever - as if to engage 2nd gear - the light comes on, but goes out as the gear lever returns to the neutral position.

What adjustments can I make...and where??

Check the soft alloy sealing washers, usually 2 or more thin ones.  Remove one and see if it works.

Usually just a bit of wear on the tip of the plunger that requires a little compensating.
