Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed explanation.
My Honda XR650L and Zongshen 200GY-2 (Yamaha clone) each have neutral sending units exiting the left crankcase cover. I didn't realize the UM dirt bikes had a wire coming from inside the engine which provides the signal when the gearbox is in neutral.
