Glad to hear. Wonder how those springs got in the bike?!!

@eric-druse bummer, your symptoms seemed similar. We had actually gone so far as to replace the ignition switch with a toggle switch … and the bike s...

I’m feeling your frustration. Hope you get an answer from the wheel place. Reading your plight jogged my memory. Nearly an eternity ago, I had a si...

Any progress on this issue? I’ve been reading with curiosity… what could it be?
