Maybe he never did any carb work, or replaced it and never figured out jetting? The chain could also be loud and obnoxious. I could be tamed :tup:

OK. so with that XPro logo, it is a Templar M. No adjustable suspension. A good negotiating point ;)
But still a great "street legal" trail bike.

What terminal? :hmm:

Is the switch connected? May be loose. It is probably a 4 wire connector. One should have 12V all the time. And check your grounds... At battery and engine ground.

If you have 12v going into the...
