I took the battery in and got it checked he said it was good.
Ill check the solenoid next and see what happens.. nah not sure where it is but I think we can find it I was watching some videos lol.
when I was clicking the button to start I can see the brake light dim slightly each time I noticed to. even when its not starting.

bike was deader as a door nail this morning... couldn't get it going for an hour.
finally I am pressing the button and I can here a slight "pap" noise each time I press it and I know then its starting to come to life. few more presses with a stronger "pap" noise and wham starts right up feeling good.
turn it off. try again. starts.
three more tries in a row and no problems.
friend comes over and im like "hey watch me start the bike up" and it starts right up no problem.
althought the first turn did sound a little labored maybe but it fired up.
turn it off. and try again and started even easier, with a stronger sounding first turn.
im about to go start it up again, I hope. and take this sucker for a ride. let it sit awhile and then try.

hiya jv yeah thinking that forza would be real nice or maybe a burgman. the Suzuki shop has some nice blur 220s to lol might need to test drive one of them out to
of course I like my velo just fine, its gotten me ready for something with a little more power I'll need when I go out to my dads place.
theres a couple miles I am forced to get on the frontage road and the speed limit is 70.
but as long as I can keep it going the velo is great in town lol.
hmm well ive noticed people like to try and take me out a lot. ive had a couple incidence already where people just want to come right into my space, and I had to swerve like a mofo.
and I had a rock chip my faceplate to.

hi im new to forum and scooting, just got my license in Montana yaaay
well I got a 2009 velo 150cc a few months ago with 1700 miles now its more like 2300.
and now when I go out I put up my kick, turn the key, click the switch to on, pull the brake and push the button. and nothing happens. it seems to make a small click noise though most times. but not everytime.
try again and nothing. but if you screw with it long enough, trying over and over suddenly it just works like magic. bam suddenly starts up no problem.
also sometimes putting it up on the center stand seemed to help but maybe that was just coincidence cause last night at walmart that wasn't doing anything. and I couldn't kick start it. haven't ever suceessfully kick started it actually it seems very hard to do that and I don't really know how.
seems to be getting worse as it goes.
seems like its never had any maintenance done really... I was gonna go have a friend help with the valve check today see if they need adjusting.
and ive checked the oil a lot im good at that lol.
I kinda feel like it has a bad connection somewhere maybe the actual start button or the key switch. sometimes all I do it turn the key again over and over and finally it goes. but no idea really.
gonna see if I can fool the local scooter deal into financing me a new Honda but I been working on my credit itll be a couple more months before it gets very good. =( |
