2008 Kymco Super 8 Questions & Answers
My kymco super 8 headlights go out when you open the trottle and come back on when the bike is idling
There are three possible sources of power. 1. The light control assay is a module that determines when to cut power to the lights when at idle or starting the engine... it can fail and prevent power from going to the lights. 2. The CDI. It sends a signal to the Light Control Module... if no signal, no lights. 3. The light switch. The wires can get lose and prevent power from going to the LCM. Start at the Switches. Test for power from the switch, if no power from the switch, make sure power is going to the switch. Flip the switch from low to hi beam too, test both lines. The CDI is a bit trickier to test but there is a wire to the LCM that can be powered when the bike is running (a bad CDI is diagnosed after everything else though as it is difficult to test and very unusual to happen). If power is going to the LCM, that rules out the switches. If you confirm power to the LCM, and power from the CDI (a signal from it at least), then its a bad LCM. But check your light bulbs before doing anything. If you bypass the LCM on an American bike (connecting the blue wire to the LCM to the blue wire from the LCM together), it will blow the fuse but some European and Phillipine models work without the LCM. LCM's and CDI's aren't cheap so have a professional confirm the parts are bad before replacing.
Bulb replacement super 8
I found it easier to unmount the entire front end to get to the headlights as my hands are too big to reach in and release the wire holding the bulbs in place. It requires removing the foot pegs and side plastics to get to the front plastics... And it's easy to lose a screw so be careful
Is there a main fuse that would of blown if I hooked my charger directly up to the + and - terminals on the starter on my 09 kymco venox 250 motorcycle?
Yes, there is likely a main fuse in your 2009 Kymco Venox 250 motorcycle that could have blown if you connected the charger directly to the + and - terminals on the starter. Many motorcycles have a main fuse located close to the battery or the fuse box to protect the electrical system from overloads and short circuits.
When you connect a charger directly to the starter terminals or other critical electrical components, you risk damaging the electrical system and causing a short circuit. If there was a surge of current due to improper connection, it could have blown the main fuse to protect the rest of the electrical components on the bike.
To troubleshoot the issue and restore power to your motorcycle, follow these steps:
- Locate the Main Fuse: Check your motorcycle's manual or service documentation to find the location of the main fuse. It is often located close to the battery or in the fuse box.
- Inspect the Main Fuse: Remove the main fuse and visually inspect it. If the main fuse is blown, you will see a break in the metal strip inside the fuse. Replace the blown fuse with a new one of the same amperage rating.
- Check Other Fuses: Even though you mentioned that all the fuses are good, double-check all the other fuses in the fuse box to ensure none of them have blown.
- Check Battery Voltage: After replacing the main fuse, check the voltage of the battery using a multimeter. Ensure the battery has enough charge (around 12.6 volts or higher) to power the electrical components.
- Reconnect Charger Properly: If the battery voltage is low, connect the charger properly to the battery terminals (positive to positive and negative to negative) and charge the battery until it reaches an appropriate level.
- Recheck Power: Once the battery is charged and all fuses are confirmed to be good, turn the key on and check if the lights and gauges receive power.
If you have followed these steps and still do not have power to the motorcycle, there might be other electrical issues caused by the improper charger connection. In that case, it's recommended to seek the assistance of a qualified motorcycle mechanic or electrician to diagnose and fix the problem correctly.

How to remove the front panel of a Kymco 150 scooter?
To remove the front panel of a Kymco 150 scooter, you will need to follow these steps:
- Locate the fasteners that hold the front panel in place. These are typically located on the underside of the panel, along the edges.
- Use a screwdriver or other suitable tool to loosen and remove the fasteners.
- Carefully lift the front panel off of the scooter.
- If the front panel is attached to the handlebars or other parts of the scooter, you may need to carefully disconnect these connections before removing the panel.
It's important to be careful when removing the front panel to avoid damaging the panel or the scooter. If you are unsure of how to remove the panel or if you encounter any difficulties, it may be best to consult a mechanic or the scooter's user manual for further guidance.

Where is the freewheel lever on my kymco agility
It is positioned at the back of the mobility scooter. Low down on the actual motor there is a small red lever at the height of the wheel hubs. Usually just to the right of the centre, at about ankle height as you stand behind the scooter.
