Scooter Lessons Learned this weekend

Monday, August 7, 2006 (Updated 1/23/2008)

Here's a few lessons I wish I had learned a few months ago, could have saved me two fires, and many hours tearing apart a scooter for no reason.

1. To start a scooter with the ignition button you must be holding the front brake down.

2. Some scooters won't start if they're on the kickstand.

I tore apart the switches on my scooter trying to get the damn starter working, only to learn that the reason I couldn't get the starter to run was that I wasn't holding down the brake lever.

Now that I know this tracking down the other issues on the scooter will hopefully be easier. I don't think I'm getting any spark, but at least i know the rest of the electrical system seems to be in order now.
