The first thing to test is the hand controller to make sure whether the problem is there or in the main section. Get someone to try their handbox first You can use either a 494 or 497 hand box.
If you establish it is in the main unit your most likely problem is a broken wire in the connector from the dec drive board to the motor ( I have seen this problem with both dec and RA motors).
In any case the OTA will need to be removed from the forks to test any further. If you have the PE module getting the OTA out is awkward but getting it back is worse. There is a lot of information on the ETX 125 works in Mike Weasners site with photos and disassembly instructions. However it is a specialist task and I would suggest you take it to a dealer. The B & T shop can fix it.
