2022 MX6000. When I turn in the seat engine shuts down. Disconnected seat sensor, still shuts down. Had the dealer check it out and he says he adjusted several sensors and it seems to be ok now. Did not get an invoice so it seems like it was a warranty issue. Anyone else have this issue?

When I lean to the right on my MX it will stop the engine due to the safety switch on the bottom on the left side of the seat. I haven’t bothered disconnecting it because it’s a gear drive and I’m not the only one that drives it. I’ll take the risk of it cutting off than it running over someone.

There are multiple seat switches on most models, and you probably disconnected the wrong switch. ;)

When my MX starts to cut out as I am leaning or something, I take it as a compliment that she doesn’t think I weigh enough to register in the seat 😉.
