Dead battery It's now almost spring in Michigan and I can't start my 2009 Kymco 125cc scooter. The battery is dead. What's the best way to charge it and what can I do this fall to prevent it from happening again? Thanks, Steve

    I have had a similar problem.  I first bought a battery tender, but the battery was too dead to charge.  I then bought a battery charger to give it that initial jump.  I then attached the tender again, and was able to bring it to full charge.


    Here's my problem:  The scooter still will not start.  I changed the spark plug yesterday, there is enough gas, and I can't see anything else wrong.


    When I start the scooter, it chokes for maybe a second, than goes into more of a clicking sound, and makes more of a continued vibrating sound.


    Please Help!  I'm unfamiliar with scooters and small engines, and I am hoping this isn't anything too serious.


    Thanks!

Steve when you store a vehicle it is best to use a trickle charger to maintain the battery.

Buckyrain
, I believe your problem can be solved by replacing the charging fuse next to the battery. It is not with the other fuses. If you pull the battery out it should be on the left with a plastic cover thing over it. Follow the power line and it will be along that.

You should go to your local auto parts store and puchase a small batter charger. Check your manual, to see if you have a 6 or 12 volt batter. To keep it up over winter you should purchase a small battery tender, also called a trickle charger. It gives the battery a very small amount of current that keeps it fully charged.

    I did some research and I think you have a 12 volt battery, but please verify that.

How do I fix an Kymco Agility 50 motor scooter that doesn't start?

Question edited for clarity, changed 'carbonator', (a thing that puts bubbles in soda) to a carburetor (a device that atomises gasoline).

The new battery is fine, in fact 6 amps is better. It has more staying power and will start the bike easier in cold weather. It is better for your lighting as well. The problem is likely to be that your battery is not fully charged when you got it. Put it on a 2 amp battery charger for 8 hours.

These two adverts have 4 amp and 7 amp as suitable.

Windsheild

125cc isn't a very big engine to push a scooter with a windshield. Adding a windshield dramitcally increases the load on that little engine. Kymco does have one and Your dealer can probably order it for you. You can also find it on http://www.kymcousa.com/access/windscree...
