Does anyone know if there is a cheaper alternative for the neutral switch? £30+ seems very expensive. (Honda cb 500 one is very similer but just slightly short £10)
Fiat is usually a good source for alternatives at car prices and usually the exact, same component. You may find something here: https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/alternatives-to-the-genuine-ducati-parts.594/
had a look on ebay found the part number did a google search and then found this on ebay £16.49 free delivery brand new found searching by part number works better Ducati Neutral Light Switch | 848 1098 1198 696 796 etc | OEM 53910211B Genuine 7425047866830 | eBay
Just a note, the early neutral switch has one wire and the later ones have 2 wires. Have you taken it out and tested the switch? Quite possibly it may just need a thicker or thinner shim/ washer.
Thanks for the replies will check out that one ebay as that's a more reasonable price. The problem with the switch is it has started leaking oil through it. (Its a one wire switch).
Thanks again have ordered that one on ebay. @johnboy your ebay searching skills are far better than mine i couldnt find that when i searched on ebay.
as with a lot of parts they are not exclusive to the ss range and fit an array of other models how to save money use the same part for every thing lol
