Default Noob from foco

I just got my first motor on my bike up and running. After many frustrating hours of not being able to figure out why it wouldn't run, I found a thread on the site about the wiring. Well, good news is that's all I did wrong, it works beautifully now. Bad news, it took me many hours before I found this site and realized the problem.
This site rocks!
Only trouble is, my kill switch isn't working, not sure what I goofed now. Does anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to the forum!

Yeah, I have an idea....the stock kill switches are really really bad to begin with. They ARE easy to take apart and try to fix.

I would toss it or replace it if you want a good reliable one.
