That is your shift interrupt switch. It is there to extend gear and clutch dog life and to ease shifting especially forward to neutral.

Thank you Hondon for the info.Any more info on how to adjust the shift interrupter switch or how it is activated on cam would also be helpful. I checked it with an ohm meter and found it grounding my coil when I moved slightly, not even 1/4 of the way out of the cam groove.Then after cycling it several times it started to work normal.
