So it stays on even when in gear? Does happen in all gears where it stays on? If so, sounds like a bad switch. Try unplugging it. To eliminate the possibility of a bad switch, I would probably just replace it as its cheap enough. You can get these on Amazon like:

Is it ok to leave it unplugged and still use the bike?

Does the light go off when you unplug it? The point of that is to not start it in gear, as it can be safety issue if you do start it in gear. I don't think it has an effect on drivability but because its a safety/neutral switch, I can't in good sense tell you its ok to leave it unplugged and use the atv. As an owner, its up to you what you do.

      2006 polaris sportsman 500 ho issues with the unit like the belt is slipping
      By Spritee1
      having an issue with the unit when running under a load up a hill or in high gear, seems like the belt is slipping, there is a clapping sound coming from the primary clutch like it releases and snaps back in. i don't think I should have a noise like that. this is a friends unit and he has already replaced the primary twice with the same result.
      not sure where to look next

      Hey I have a 1997 big bear 350 4x4
      I replaced the shifter shaft and the shift arm linkage and the rod when I installed them all I was unaware that you had to line the dot on the shifter shaft with the gap on the linkage arm gap put it all back  together and rode it I can't get it to shift in the right gears  I can move the shift cam by hand and goes in different gears but with the shifter shaft in it riding I can't put it in R or N 
      Anyone know how to line up the shifter shaft and the shift cam s

      1987 Yamaha Big Bear Electrical Troubleshoot
      By ResQ91
      Hi guys
      My 87 Bear 350 won't start and could use a hand.
      Turn key on and Oil light turns on and then slowly fades out. (I think this is key to this) No start, not even a tick.
      battery and connections good
      A Solenoid post jump turns it over
      Neutral Safety Switch wire attached and seems good
      It has not had a wire/switch on Rear Brake Pedal ever since I had it.
      Any thoughts on some other things to troubleshoot this??
