YY250T Starting Quirk By dhull (Read 798 times)

[dhull]

I have a 2008 YY250T (244cc) with 9000 miles on it that has some quirks about starting. About a year ago the thumb starter switch stopped working. I can only start it with the remote fob which also activates the alarm and will drain the battery if I forget to deactivate it after shut down. I've seen some threads about the MC-54-250B having a similar problem which is solved with a new fuse in the battery box area, but I don't have fuses there. Any help?

Also, the heads on both of my keys broke and I can't find anyone in town with a blank that match mine. Any suggestions for where/what to order?

Look here for key blanks:

The extra keys for 2 of my scooters came from the hard ware store. The 50cc one I gave away uses a kawasaki blank and it did require the sides thinned with a flat file by a couple thousands to fit in easily. Home dump, lowes and them home improvement big box stores are not hardware stores....ace and true value are and the older a store is the more likely they are to have a full line of keys. Most lock smiths will not take the time to sort thru the blanks once they find out it is a chinese scooter even though they probably would have the key.

Fix the ign sw and junk the remote before you get stranded some where and have to leave it!

If your start button is the problem here is a replacement switch assembly:
