5th gens are voltage sensitive. Start with the easy stuff first. The battery connections need to be clean and tight. If all good there, have the battery professionally tested at a powersports dealer. If your battery is bad, and you buy a new one, assume it to be bad too, until it is tested...
As a reminder, before ever buying a trike, get the VIN and be sure to enter it here (CARFAX).
In the last couple of months, there's been several trikes brought here for service/repair. Once the plastic is off, it becomes easy to see that the bike, now a trike, had been in a major wreck prior...

I've got questions, and this all has to do with the information being provided in the video. At least here, repairs have a start and end point. They start with a complaint, or concern. So the start point is to verify the symptom. For a fork OH that often starts with a test ride, and usually...
