I still have a stock M8 HCR that hesitates off the start. It is like it is somewhat flooded and a few shots of throttle and some 20-30ft of movement clears it up.

I'd like to bypass / disable the throttle safety switch and see what happens. But I do not know where to start. Can someone give me a quick description? I googled it to death but mostly found instructions for older Cats.

Thanks

p.s. I have a tether as a backup.

I hard a look inside the block and down the steering post but didn't see anything or wasn't sure what I was looking for. Any further help would be appreciated!

If its the same as my m7, you can just unplug the kill switch+TSS. Behind the aluminum triangle cover in front of the handle bars, you will find a bunch of connections, but I just traced them an unhooked it. It was one connector with brown, purple, and (I think) black wires.

Take the throttle block apart on the handlebars. It's 4 T15 screws to get it open. There will be a little white plastic plate holding in the wires with a T8 screw. Take that off and you can unplug just the TSS and keep the kill and reverse. You will see what wires run to it. Not sure off hand what color but want to say they were green and something.
