lol excuse the name. whenever i get my quad wet i get a shock in my lever, which is decently strong. nothin to stop my from riding but its annoying at hell. sometimes it gets pretty bad depending how wet i am. haha. does this mean i have a short somewhere or wat.

I've had that happen too. It is caused by water getting into the switches on the bars, and then the shock traveling through the water to your hand. It is from the kill switch. You can try to seal it up better to keep water out.

If your using a pro design,make sure the wire coming out of the end that has the aluminum button is going to ground and the other to the hot side of coil.If this is reversed,it can knock the pee out of ya.
