Kill switch stuck on

[Sara S]

I was riding my bike earlier and my kill switch engaged and is now stuck in that position. So now everything is locked up. Can't ride at all

Any Ideas?

Pic of it is normal just showing my switch.

first, just unplug it - flipping up the choke lever will kill the motor when needed

second, take switch out by removing the one screw holding it in - then fix or replace it

note, if unplugging doesn't work, you'll need to check all your wiring for a short

So I was riding my bike as normal, and as I was riding my kill switch engaged and is now stuck. Which means my back tire is now locked.

Any Ideas?

A killswitch wouldn't lock up the rear wheel. Check your chain where it feeds over the output sprocket.

hmm, I took that to mean motor wouldn't run, but if pulling clutch doesn't allow pedaling, then chain should be looked at

She posted 2 threads, other mentions rear wheel is locked.

Yes it is locked and the clutch does not release it. I will check the chain

Pull off the small cover that the chain feeds into on the left side of your engine. Bet you'll find the chain bunched up in there.
