This wire is normal?

When i opened the box of my new Rebel T3, i saw a piece of wire that is cut.
That's normal. :roll: Where this wire is supposed to be connected?

That's the clutch lever, right?, if so it's possible that the brake and clutch levers are the same assemblies and the brake lever will have a switch to control the brake light, not needed on the clutch.

I'd concur, and another true example of the china power sport market being a bit 'unrefined'

Think of it as a built in spare for WHEN the other one fails. :roll:

Finally, it's not like the other side.

The controls that are used on these machines were originally for street bikes and so on. The switch on the clutch lever was likely a safety switch in the original application, but it was not used on your atv. If your atv starts and runs without it, forget it.
