That will let it start but not rev up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creiss13 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Sounds like the parking brake switch. That will let it start but not rev up. whats the best way to fix that? Cuz on the lever the parking brake lock doesnt have anything to lock too. just kinda hangs there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YELLOWBANSHEE06 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) I had a similar problem with mine and it ended up being the microswitch on the throttle lever was stuck in, not sure what the switch does but it will definantly stop the bike from revving and cut the motor out when you try to rev it. Guessing it is connected to the ignition somehow. good luck. :cool: Edited August 4, 2009 by YELLOWBANSHEE06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the problem was in my ebrake sensor! Had it running good, took it out to test ride bout 2 hrs later and no spark. It seems like one go around it will get spark the next time no spark, my guess is the on off switch? Or is it something else? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
