Mk3 gearbox question

Quick questions… I took the outer cover off my gearbox. The bike was in recognized as being in neutral by the light. Does this look to be the case?
Also, am I able to replace the outer cover in this position? Thanks

Turn the back wheel, see if it tries to turn the engine. The manual covers what gear it needs to be in for cover removal, my memory is not that good. But this site has an excellent guide.

If you haven't disturbed the inner cover you will be okay to refit the outer cover, gear selection won't have been affected
