Was doing the Canal ride today when my fan came on when I turned the ignition on, and then I also saw the neutral light flash. This had me puzzled for a while, initially thought the bike was running hot, but then remembered I read somewhere that the water temp sensor is another weak component and fail often, and the symptoms are just that. Luckily have one on hand, so will fit it tomorrow.

As a side note, I changed the oil with Castrol power1, and my gearbox is quite clunky now, will go back to Motul 300V next time, the gearbox is just so much smoother with it, albeit at a price.
