Sometimes Scootering is Shocking to me.
« on: October 06, 2019, 11:27:31 PM »
Sometimes I get a small shock from my right grip on my new like 200 i. Anyone else felt this? Bad ground or something?  Not really all that noticeable or painful.. but I do feel it..

is it when squeezing the front brake? The reason I ask is that I used to think I was getting a little shock when squeezing the clutch on my motorcycle..but it was really just the tendons in my wrist 'popping' occasionally, which felt like a mild shock.

Sounds kind of weird..but still happens occasionally.

What did your dealer say, when you took your new scooter back with this concern?

We've never heard of this before, here on the forum.
Is it the left grip? Happens only when you pull the brake lever when idling at a stop light?

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I have the same year and model scooter as you and I do not feel a shock. But then, I am always wearing leather gloves.

I never experienced this before, but similar incidents have been discussed on other motorcycle forums before.

Apparently one motorcycle owner solved the problem by replacing a faulty / dirty engine kill switch - and another owner solved the problem by replacing a faulty front brake pressure switch.

You can just Google the subject "static shock scooter / motorcycle brake levers" to find more info.
