My 2003 LT80 will not run after the brake switch is released. I start the bike and when I release the brake switch, the bike quits. The bike will not restart unless the brake pedal switch is engaged again.

The brake switch has been replaced with a new Suzuki switch and the wiring harness has been checked for any faults.

Any ideas on why the bike won't run when the brake switch is released? What else should I check or replace?

 

Prolly a bad frame to motor ground.

 

Did you ever find out what the problem was with the parking brake? I got one doing the same thing, dies whenever I release it.

 

I had to replace the brake switch and charging coil. Make sure to check all your connections.

 

I just updated from the old style wiring harness to the new and all the wires are where they should be from what I could tell, I swapped the brake switch and it still dies whenever I release the parking brake

 

Someone I’m new to the threads can’t figure them out not a dummy just not tech savvy but I’m having same issue have a totally rebuilt lt 80 all new fuel and air systems all new coil plug cdi everything to make it run is 💯 but electrical ain’t my strong point it will run good for like 15in if I hold the switch by hand but if I just release it it dies instantly ordered new switch will update if it works but any info would be appreciated ty😊💯
