Ensure there is enough &quot;slack&quot; so that the cables don&apos;t pull tight when you turn the handlebars fully to the left or right.</li></ul><hr data-path-to-node="14" style=" text-decoration: none;"><h3 data-path-to-node="15" style=" text-decoration: none;" id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h3>&quot;My bike turns on, but my phone isn&apos;t charging.&quot;This almost always means the Y-cable was accidentally connected to the Keypad wire (the right-side wire), or the throttle wire, instead of the Main Harness wire (the left-side wire). Swap the connection to the other display wire and try again.If you need any further assistance or have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to us through our contact form <a href="https://arielrider.com/pages/contact-us" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
