light switch, hot plastic and brake caliper
« on: May 10, 2023, 10:38:15 AM »
Hi everyone. my wife has a 21 cforce 400 it only has 600 miles on it and you have to flip the light switch several times to get the low beams to work. I took it apart and cleaned it but its just not making contact.   also the front right brake caliper is frozen , I took it off and tried putting some grease on the piston under the boot but that didn't help. The plastic above the muffler gets so hot I cant believe it didn't melt. so i made a metal plate heat shield and installed it above the muffler which helps a lot but now it rattles because one of the main bolts that hold the back of exhaust on was cross threaded from the factory.  Has anyone else had any of these problems or did she just get a lemon? Thanks

Hello, I have a 2020 cforce 400 with more that 1000 miles.  No problems with brakes of plastics getting hot.  I did have a problem with the ignition switch and light switch not making contact but took the apart and cleaned the rust that was there...now it works just fine but I do spay WD40 often on all the handlebar switches.  Hope you get the problems sorted out.
