Azryll Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Are you still running TORS? If I remember right removing the parking brake makes the TORS system run like crap so you have to splice them, if you TORS is already off just unplug it at the box.

Unplug the T.O.R.S. Brain, the throttle switch and if it continues it may be a short in the Parking brake wire to cdi. I think its a green wire with a yellow stripe if i remember correctly but if it touches ground it activates a rev limiter/parking brake safety dealio.

2STROKIN_IT Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) I recently removed mine on my bike and I just took the tank off and followed the wires coming from the parking brake to under the tank and simply disconnected the connector and it was fine. Are you sure you are not disconnecting the on/off switch that's on the clutch side? But if you wanna completely remove the parking brake in all you should start from the rear of the bike and work your way forward. First thing you should do is order a PARKING BRAKE BLOCK OFF PLATE, usually about $12 and it comes with an o ring, bolts and block off plate. You will need to install this where the parking brake mechanism is attached to the rear brake caliper. But this is what I did and I'm not saying this is the correct way but it's what I did with no issue: 1: Remove parking brake mechanism from rear brake caliper, you will see that it has a cable running into it with a spring. I believe it's with a 6mm Allen wrench that you will remove the 2 bolts that hold p brake mechanism in place. 2: One mechanism is off you can install block off plate with o ring and bolts supplied. This block off is not absolutely necessary but good to keep all the gunk out of caliper and prevent future problems. 3: Remove spring off of parking brake mechanism, that should take the tension off the p brake cable. You slide cable out and that should give you the clearance to slide the cable through all the loops that keep it in place all the way to the clutch perch. 4: If I can remember correctly you will need an 8mm wrench and a flat head screw driver to remove the parking brake trigger from clutch perch. Unscrew the bolt that holds it in place (this is after you remove cable that ran from front to back of bike) and slide assembly off the perch. 5: All you will have left at this point is the small parking brake switch/sensor that has wires coming out of it, you remove it by (if I can remember) is stick a flat head in the little lock tabs that hold it into the parking brake assembly on clutch perch. Once out you can trace wires down and disconnect from the small connector under tank. This should delete your parking brake all together. Again I'm no pro just going off of what I did!! Good luck Edited May 1, 2015 by 2STROKIN_IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
