So I got my 8 year old kid his first bike for this past Christmas and it's been a flawless bike.... starts every single time, hasn't left him with so much as even a flat tire.... UNTIL, my 17 year old decided to "borrow without permission" because his friends were going riding and he didn't feel like bolting his quad wheels on so he could ride his new tires, so what happens???! Exactly, we get a call he's at his grandparents "stuck" because he broke the kickstand. Keep in mind I didn't even know he had taken it, he knew he wasn't allowed to, etc. Anyways, he knocked/lost the spring off the kickstand, no big deal. I leave it at my parents, order a spring, go back and pick it up the other day. Bike won't start. Went over the bike, found a loose battery bolt, tightened it and trickle charged it overnight. Battery reads 100% charged. Still won't start. Start looking over the bike again, now I notice the brake switches have no wires to them. I can't recall if they did previously to be honest, BUT, the bike did require brakes to start as it's an automatic bike. Both brake levers have switches and both have absolutely no wiring connected, nor can I find any showing disconnection anywhere either.... but my mind cant get past the fact that these are the culprit somehow. I've taken the plastics & tank off, cut the zip ties holding the wiring harness tight to the frame and I don't see anything missing or torn. If there was never any wiring to either of these switches why did we need to pull the brakes in to start before?! Theres gotta be something im missing here. I can jump the solenoid and it tries to start. I have checked, undone, and plugged in the red Deadmans kill switch 30 times. Doesn't seem to be an issue here either. I just need someone to confirm or deny these brake switches missing wires. I am stuck on it and logically can't get past it until I know for certain one way or the other. Please & thank you. I greatly appreciate it all.
