RE: Help Help!!!
The father dropped it.
The problem im having is that the bike starts automaticly. I just pulled apart the controls and found that the ignition wires were pinched between the mounting brackets. This has caused a cut in the wire. Now to me it looks like a design problem as there is no way of pushing the wire harness all the way out when tighting the bracket to the handle bar. Has anyone seen this before?

Yep I would check the wires. They most likely touching, causing an open gate condition. If you can electrical tape them apart you can limp over to get it all fixed. Otherwise trailer it over.

How do you know it is getting pinched? It looks ok in the pic. You could start by loosening the switch housing on the side that fell and moving the switch hosing/grip out a bit to make sure it isn't pinched.
