It's a bad rectifier..the engine studder is what it's designed to do when the rectifier goes bad to keep overcharge from happening and frying all the electrical. When you pressed the brake, it lights up the brake light and draws away the extra voltage from the overcharge and runs normal, that will only last so long.
Stator magneto issue... it will sometimes do it with high beams on as well. classic Suzuki stator magneto. Pull the cover etc you will see a burn in a winding due to arc from pickup wire
That brake is only a backup for the rear wheels. The handlebar brake runs all 4 wheels. My 96 bearcat 454 is doing the same thing. Ive never had the backup brakes for it and only ran the handlebar one. I disconnected the switch and it runs mint now. Wow icant believe it. Thanks white trash guy 👍
It turns out it was the voltage regulator as the underlying cause. The voltage was too high in my case. The draw from the brakes dropped the voltage enough for it to run good. Weird.
@@Whitestrash I've had my wheeler for over 8years and never had an issue till a year ago. I've also never had that foot brake lever hooked up as it was taken off the right rear wheel. Do you think I should still replace the voltage regulator? Maybe just riding with the light on at all time would draw away unwanted current?
@@evanphillips6555 the right way would be to replace the regulator. But I'm sure it won't hurt it to leave the brake light on. Or turn on the headlights and send it

Yes! I later figured that out. Thank you.
No problem! I went thru the same pain unfortunately.

It turned out to be the voltage regulator i guess. It's my cousin's wheeler. He had a new regulator, so he changed it and it properly fixed the issue.

How’d you put the seat on? Ever since I’d bought my air intake box and snorkel I can’t fit my seat? What? How wrong am I in this simple task
I think the latch is opposite of anything else. Try the opposite of logic and you'll get it. 😄
Bro mine was doin same thing untill I played with. Rake lever and put more gas innit, I hav an 03 artic cat 400 4x4
