They need to be adjusted VERY often and don't work half the time. It's also extra weight and gets in the way. If it's gonna cause more headache than help why keep it? It's VERY simple to take off too.

OR....you can not spend any money on a block-off kit and just remove one liittle piece from the switch and it will never bother you again. On the electical plug going into the back of the e-brake, pull this out of the housing. You should now be holding a push pin switch. Take the end of the switch off(the push pin part) and there is a little brass ring that slides onto the post inside the switch. Take the ring off and put it back together and PRESTO - ebrake cut out switch is disabled!!!
WARNING: you will be able to rev your motor now with the ebrake on (BE CAREFUL)!!!!!!!

The best way to go about it is to buy a standard perch for a wolverine or beartracker (they use the same and are about $10). Get rid of your parking brake and clutch perch. Reinstall your clutch in the new perch and plug the clutch sensor into the perch. (the bike will now start in gear with the clutch pulled in) Unplug the e-brake sensor (it has a plug-in joint under the plastic toward the front) and fill the plug with silicone. (you have now eliminated the e-brake sensor and rev limiter). Use a block off plate for your rear caliper. It's as simple as that.
