Dear BMW k75's owner who wants to modify it into a modern retro beast, welcome !
So first of all, buy some cigarettes (you recognized the frenchman), beers, whisky and have a solid playlist of music to get into the work
It would sound stupid but don't solder immediately, use a lot of electrical dominos, once everything works, then you can solder. Work step by step, and as my technical teachers told me, "You should test 3 times and do the piece one time than the contrary" it was something like that but nevermind you should understand me.
Well, first of all you should have to build a small electrical circuit for the neutral light, that way you wouldn't have to pull the clutch to start the bike if it's in the neutral but of course yes if a gear is engaged. Without it you would be able to start the bike even if a gear is engaged, quite dangerous in my opinion I wanted my bike to start like every other bike.
1/ Neutral Circuit
So here is the circuit : The size of the circuit is approximately the same width of a King Size condom, smaller than a credit card if you prefer.
The idea is to print the PDF just bellow on scale 1, then taped a piece of plastic like bakelit for example on it and the pierced all the small hole. Then place your componants and solder every wires with the componants like in the schema. I fail to build a real PCB with copper plate so I used electrical wire instead, it's perfect, more tricky but perfect.
For the 7 out hole, just pass a long wire in the several hole in order to solder those 7 wires later with other wire of the bike. (Hope it is clear)
In red : the contour of the relay
In green : the diode (ATTENTION : the diode has a sens, you will see a line on one side of the diode. This line has to be towards the "Pin 5 Black/green" on the schema upward)
Diode :1N4007-T - Diode de puissance standard, 1 kV, 1A, Une, 600 mV, 30 A : BUY HERE
Relay : OUAZ SS-112L, 900 : BUY HERE
If the link is disabled with the time, search a relay with the same characteristics but you should redo the wiring like I did.
Attached to this message, you will find my pdf of the neutral circuit with top view to place the componants like the picture upward + the bottom view of the neutral circuit to solder the wire.
