Hi Jason..

I had exact same problem.. bottom line I had to replace selector forks (all three) and second gear cog.. If u do replace a gear cog then please take a tip from me (lesson hard learn't). Have all your gears undercut at the same time or it will slip out of another gear.. I got my bike back after 2 nd gear done and on the same day 3 rd gear started to slip. Had to send bike back and have all the cogs undercut... Now its fine.

And yes u do need to remove motor to open gearbox and u will need to replace gaskets..

i dont understand, the bike shouldent start in gear with the lever out it would jump forward when you hit the start button.. there is nothing wrong with the bike by what you say its just a neutral light, witch is a switch find the neutral indicator switch and replace it and your probelms will go away or test the one you have it should test 13ohms in neutral and OL in gear
let me know how you make out

Perhaps it will run for a few seconds or minutes but it will die eventually. Stock bikes cannot run just with their battery. You need to have your stator repaired.

take it back and threaten to sue !

I think its very similar to my 89 NC30, there should be some rubber 'bungs' with wires on them on the back of your clocks that you can pull out and there will be some very small bulbs inside the bungs when viewed from the front. NOTE - you may have to take out a couple screws to access the back of the clocks, but it shouldn't be anything major

need to re do the trany

Check fuel system--full fuel tank--check petcock operation--make sure carbs have fuel in them--open and close drains on bottom of carbs If bike has been sitting for a while --carbs may need to be removed and cleaned if you spill fuel be very careful and clean up and vent well before continuing

Yep sure can. You have my permission.
