Clutch Diode Information ( ST1100 )
Symptoms: Engage gear and the neutral light comes on and then goes out as clutch lever released.~~~
Here's the picture of the clutch diode location (I marked the diode to ID the spades to their colored wire leads):
Here's the clutch diode 'in situ' with the wire loom tape peeled back:

1N5402 or # 276-1143
3 amp, 200 v PIV
$1.69 each.
~~~
Need two diodes ( 1N5402 )
and some insulated crimp terminals ( 3 x red ).
Twist together the cathodes ( banded end ) and crimp on an insulated terminal.
Crimp insulated terminals to each of the remain anodes ( Un-banned end )
Looking at wiring diagram below:
The end with the twisted leads into a single insulated terminal connect to the GREEN wire.
The remaining diode ends connect to the GREEN\RED wire and the other wire.
