Yep... that's correct. Has I stated, this is my first ever bike, so when battery went dead I tried several times the kick start until finally I get it right... now it's very easy to start it up... it just a fast blow and it starts :) I've been that way for a week or so, due to a problem in some part that I don't remember, and that was cover by guarantee...
How does this work ? I've been kicking it for a while this morning but nothing helped. My battery has run out. Very weird. The scooter started a few weeks ago after letting it freeze in the carport for 3 weeks. I've been doing long rides this week and suddenly this morning the battery was dead... I only left the backseat open for 5 minutes.
What did you have to do to get the kickstart working ? My battery went dead and I've been kicking the kickstart like crazy (while holding the brake, with the keys in the good position & I made sure the red interrupter wasn't active) But it's not helping met to get the sym started
Thanks. I also found a video on youtube and it worked. It's crucial to find some resistance on the kickstart before kicking it short & hard. Gotta be gentle in the beginning and then a bit brutal. I'm starting to get it why you called your scooter symone :)
Does this mean it's possible to start the scooter when the battery has run flat, e.g. after some cold weeks or so...
ReplyDeleteYep... that's correct.

Sorry Tom, been very busy...
ReplyDeleteLet's see if I can explain it.
1- Put your foot flat onto the pedal.
2- Push forward/front (not down) in a steady quick movement
Simple as that... regards
(I'll try to post a video soon...)

Mine has no kickstart :S
ReplyDeleteMy Kickstart wont fold out - rusted I think :/
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a pity :(
ReplyDeleteTry to put some oil on in to see if it folds out.
