i'm not very good at explaing things but i'll try. anyways i removed my parking brake and got a new clutch lever and perch and there was this little box out of the old perch that has 2 wires connected to it and i was wondering what this is and what i do with it? Thanks

The box with the wires is for the parking brake. It deals with the engine and cdi box. I do know that the wires must be hooked togther or something looped to replace the wires so you still have a full circuit. I would recommend taking it to a local motorsport shop or your dealer. Hope I provided some help.

take it to your dealer :huh


all you have to do is connect the two wires and tape it up with some electrical tape :cool:

if you dont connect them you will only be able to start the quad in neutral. its sort of a safety thing, so when you were in gear and didnt have the clutch pulled in the quad would not start.

you got a parking brake blockoff right?

Ok, yes the stock piece seals it off better than most block offs b/c its got the o-ring seal.
You just need to check it often to make sure it isn't engaging the brake.
