Curing violent kickback, ( see earlier post) . Bike kicks back as if way advanced. Going by the computer theory or turning it off at the wall, and the modern car theory of disconnecting the battery for twenty minutes to reset everything( roadside service did it to my car which refused to start and bingo away it went) and lots of elcetrical appliences where you do you the same I disconnected the battery (pulled the fuse) left the bike for ten minutes reconnected it and kicked. No more kick back. Is it possible for the pazon to get stuck (mentally) in its circuits on full advance for some reason(i did have a loose ground) and it has reset itself after being depowered.Seems weird i know but i started it half a dozen times from full kick to a half hearted push thru and it didnt look like kickingback. Touch wood it wont come back buti thought i would share just in case there is something in it

Cheers

As the Pazon (presumably it's the Sure-Fire) is an analogue type, so I'm not sure there's anything to reset, unlike digital systems that contain microchips?

More likely that the "loose ground" was the cause of actual problem, or the fuse connections were not as good as they should have been,-until you disturbed them?

I believe you are right as usual Les, dont you get tired of it I assumed because it was a box and electrical that it would have a processor . Lets just hope whatever "fixed" the problem remains a fix.

I wouldn't dare to presume to say I was right, I think I just put forward the most logical explanation that I could think of?

Even digital boxes should power down completely, once the ignition was switched off, I think?

Unless there is some form of non volatile memory, removing power will reset just about anything with electronics. Some boxes use a big capacitor instead of a battery or non volatile memory to keep parameters and these will demand to be unpowered for a long time before being reset. As far as I know, there are no add on "black boxes" for motorcycles that use any form of memory.
