After a few fun-filled days of riding my new scooter, all of a sudden it would no longer start.
After some searching, I found wire that had broken from its solder on the starter button.
My question is: is this common? Should I completely disassemble and search for weak welds? Taking the body kit off is a PITA.

IMO, that was a freak accident and I wouldn't spend the time going through your bike. The more frequent problems found with electricals on some builds are generally bad connectors and not the soldering. What kind of a bike do you have and did you do a PDI?

I would check the charging system . Is it cranking and not starting or just not cranking ?

It didn't crank: but I know it was the solder, I already found the break on the wire connecting the starter button.
I bought it from another guy, who did a kinda sorta halfway PDI. I'm in the process of doing my own.
It's an MC-62 (I said 54 on an earlier post) with the Linhai engine.
