fuel shut down switch

[Johnny Michael]

I hit a pot-hole and the fuel shut off switch cut the fuel off. It also will blow a 40 fuse when this happens. I had to replace the fuel shut off switch. It must have go weak with age. If you do not reset the shut off switch it will blow a fuse every time you replace one.

Just where is this thing located???

Its under the seat next to the fuse box. Has a red button on top. I have had to reset it only once in 7 years from hitting a really big bump. Did not blow a fuse.

Gorilla, I would like to thank you so much. I've been getting the trike ready for a 2000 mile trip leaving Sunday. I saw the red button but didn't know that this thing had a fuel cut-off like a car. I went out tonight to take it out and adjust the lights I have under the mirrors and it wouldn't start. I remembered this thread, pulled the seat and the button was out. I reset it and wham the trike started.

There is going to be a lot of rain in Colorado where we're going, so I'm curious as to whether or not that cruise/brake light switch will fail. I called Richard and asked about getting a newer style one, that is supposed to be better in the rain, but he said mine should be fine. I guess I'll find out.

By the way, the HID's I installed work great. I put it on a dark street and I could see several hundred feet with just the low beam and when I turned on the high beam, it went quite a bit farther. I had the air bags set at 32, so the front was not high. I walked down the street and checked and the low beam was not pointing up into on coming traffic.

your welcome and enjoy the trip. ride safe

Right now we're in Estes Park, CO. We've had rain for the past 3 days on the road. A couple of small wacky things have happened on the trike from the rain, but nothing drastic. We'll be back Saturday. Hope it stops raining before then.
