Does it run with choke on? if so pilot or slow jet is clogged.or check the idle setting.

Hi

The oil light is for low oil pressure. If your bike is not running then the light should be on as the engine has to be running to develop oil pressure. Does the motor turn over when you try to crank?

However it sounds like two problems, electrical and mechanical. 1. Check your battery and see if it has any power. One question about this, can you hear a relay or solenoid clicking when you try to crank it? If not then your rectifier could have give shorted out.

2. It sounds like the clutch has let go. (Hopefully a clutch and not a gear or bearing.) Another mechanical failure could be a broken cam chain or chain tensioner, but this is unlikely since the engine was running until you came to a stop.

If old gas sat in the carb.s for more than a month it starts to dry up. As it drys up it leaves behind a varnish like film that stops up some very small ports and pin holes inside a motorcycle carburetor. It is also very hard to get out. You can try this before you pull the carb.s for a full cleaning. Use a product called Seafoam, get as much gas out of the carb.s as you can. use a turkey baster and force the seafoam into your carb.s fuel line that you took loose from the fuel tank. Let that set for days 1 or 2. then hook up the fueltank with a mix of good gas and seafoam, (not a lot but enough to start it up. Move the cycle outside as the seafoam will make a lot of smoke if it does start up. If that does not clear up the problem you may have to pull the carb(s) and remove the blows to clean the inside. If you have to do that do not DO NOT MESS with any adjustment screws, DO NOT MESS with any adjustment screws. Just take the carb. bowl(s) off keep each one separate and number them so they do not get mixed up. do not mix up any internal parts. It is best to work on one at the time so nothing goes wrong. Work on a large sheet so if you drop a small part you can find it, you do not want to be missing some tiny spring or screw. Hope this Helps.

Check kickstand interlock. If you have a switch at your kickstand, this is used to prevent driving with the kickstand down. You can bypass the switch by pulling off the connector and trying to start. Also try to put a shorting wire across the connector terminals. If the bike will go into gear, you have a bad interlock switch.

to check if the charging system is charging you also need an amp meter hook that inbetween the battery lead on the pos + side of the battery and with the engine running turn on all lights if the amp meter reads - charge its not charging the batery up,,change the reg first,, thats the chepest part,,,the charge will only just be above what you need with all lights on eg 1.5 - 2 amps

Not exactily sure how to replace the clutch, but here's a website where i've been getting my prats from.

There is a website that shows the specs of your bike named www.bikerparts.com

There are three screws holding the seat down. One at the back which is easy to see the other two you need to remove each top side cover (left & right) to access the other two. More info here

Change Plugs and clean the carbs You will be on the road in no time.

You can either look online on ebay or amazon.com. Did you look under the seat or the control box, sometimes they put the manuals there.

Buy the proper unit light switch ,if its faulty and can't be repaired ,bin it .

Leaving the gas in for 2 months won't hurt anything, my bike has been sitting all winter and is ready to go, except for a dead battery. Are you storing it somewhere that requires this? Just drop the fuel line and let it run into a container. You will always have fumes, and the carbs, if it has them, will still be holding gas.

You need a quality manual. Google it and search, you should find one some where on the web.
Now I will run you through the basics. Firstly check you battery terminals to make sure they are clean and connecting. Next, check that your battery is OK, easy if you have a multi-meter, but if you havent then just put it on the charger for at least 6 hours and see if it improves things. Now if you are still in doggie doo doo then it is time to get it to an Auto-electrician and get them to give it a test, generally done as a freebie. If they tell you that you electrics are all hunky dorry then it needs a tune up. I am not sure what your bike requires in that area but your manual should tell you. If you are not confident to do it, then take it to a qualified bike mechanic, or even to a Kymco Dealer

the cable must be lubricated by disconnectin and slowly adding drops of oil till its absorbed-this shud make it move freely unless there is bends or carb problems--fan comes on wen stuc in heavy traffic

Hi dewinnaarn
You can download a User Manual for your motorcycle from here This bike most probably has a vacuum operated fuel petcock that turns off the fuel automatically when the engine is not running. On page 40 of the manual I spotted a "fuel hose connector" that looks suspiciously like a petcock. Worth checking out. Cheers

Loose the gas additive. Clean the air filter and then install new spark plugs. If the bike has carbs, drain the carbs. .... All fixed!
