Engine will not start using button....Will only start if....
Will only start when I use the kickstart
This problem comes and goes.....I don't know where to begin as far as a repair. When I kickstart it it fires up on the first kick.....any suggestions? |

battery, especially if it was stock (usually not the highest quality stock)--just check it first, for charge.

I did that at first when I first bought the bike a couple weeks ago. Battery would not charge. I purchased a new battery and put it in......worked fine for a little while then did it again. I kickstarted it for a few days and then out of nowhere it began working again.....

I hate it when the easy fixes were already tried Does the bike have a warranty since it's new? I would contact the dealer before tearing into anything on it.

It's not under warranty.....I purchased it from a previous owner.

My wife's scooter had the exact same problem. Turns out the replacement batter had a dead cell. When I put it on the charger, said it was fully charged but wouldn't start the bike at all.
Anyway, don't forget to tune it up. Trust me...that would help. Been there, done that. Nuff said! olds_cool DON'T BE A SQUIDIOT! |
