Please allow me to introduce myself. First time poster and grandpa who now is responsible for the safety of my 11-year old granddaughter. She owns a SLA-109 Quad that was made in 2006 by SUNL GROUP, Inc. I was able to start the quad with the key fob. But when I wanted to turn it off, the buttons on the left handlebar seem to be inopperable (not working).

I have been searching on the internet for an operator's manual or a repair manual so I can learn a bit more about this problem. This is the first quad that I have had the pleasure to work on. I think I have found the "kill switch" located at the rear of the quad. I am not certain if it is working. I believe the "off button" is red on the left handlebar. And there is another red button on the left handlebar that I believe is the starter button. Neither of these buttons seem to do anything.

There is a key fob that I spoke of earlier. I used the lightening bolt to start it and some other button to turn it off, sorry I cannot remember which button I pressed because the alarm was hurting my ears. I need to make certain that my granddaughter can ride this thing safely and turn it off with and easy to reach button.

Thank you for your help, UncleNuckle

 

I have a couple manuals for 110cc machines that will mostly apply to your granddaughter's quad. The 110cc machines are basically the same. These manuals cover basic operation (including the remote functions) and maintenance such as valve adjustment, clutch adjustment, etc. They are not full blown engine tear down/rebuild manuals. Fo that you will have to buy a Clymer E-22 engine service manual which cover the honda engine from which the chinese engines were cloned. To get these manuals send me a *private* message through this forum with your email address enclosed. I will send you the manuals in pdf format as an attachment by return email. They will be about 5 MBytes in length total.

Just in case you don't know, you have to apply the brakes before you can crank the starter motor with the "start" button on the left handlebar. This is a safety feature so that you can't start up the quad in gear and have it take off unexpectedly. This is the same idea that makes you have to have your car in neutral or park before you can crank the starter motor in it. On the quad, turn on the ignition, apply the brake, and look at the brake light. Is it on? If not your quad won't crank with the start button.

If you like you can just cut the wire to the siren/alarm. All the other remote kill/start functions will still work. Just that annoying siren will be silenced.

Since your post mentioned safety (and since we're talking about your granddaughter), you must step up to the plate and be dilligent about inspecting your grandaughter's quad carefully before every ride (and during the ride if it is a long one). Chinese quads as delivered will literally fall apart along the trail. Do not expect these quads to meet the quality of the name brand ($$$) quads. It is up to you to be on the lookout for problems before they occur. Your granddaughter isn't going to be able to tell you that the brakes aren't working quite right, or there is this shimmy when turning left, etc... These symptoms are precursors to disaster, so you have to be on top of it .

That said, my chinese quad has been one heck of a lot of fun. I've had problems of course (like almost all chinese owners), but more than 2500 miles into this quad it's been a great deal for me, and also for my neighbor who has ridden along with me. Chinese quads are not for everyone. If you have to call a tow truck when your car gets a flat tire, then I would seriously consider *not* owning a chinese quad.

As far as your kill switch not working (on the left handle bar). We can look into that after we get the quad starting up with the start button. Get a voltmeter ready.... .

And, does your CDi have four pins or 5 pins?
