Shot Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm pretty sure it has to do with squeezing the left brake. Sometimes I have to squeeze hard or several times before it will start. Is there an easy adjustment for that? Or is it Honda shop time? I’m somewhat mechanical, and have tools. Any help much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Check the switch behind the lever. Dirty / loose connections ?. New one from Honda will be cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiniyow Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Just squeeze the other brake lever and figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Try looking at the brake light as you squeeze.... it will indicate if you have made contact. (Unless you have taken the bulb out to save fuel). Left brake means rear brake so adjustable drum. I found loosening mine off slightly helped.

thailand49 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 It is the adjustment of the hand brake or there is dirt in the switch as noted a very common problem. You can go to any shop but you will need to find a way to convey the information? It is so simple most shops won't even charge you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
