Cany you help me get my 150cc scooter started?
by Rachel

All right, where to start. I got my 150cc scooter straight from the dealer, brand new in July of 2010. It started several months without fail. Then it got to the point where it would only kickstart, so I took it to the dealer where it is still under warranty... They treated me like a complete moron. "Have you been taking the keys out or leaving the kill switch off?"
I left it there for two days, they said they found nothing wrong with it. It still wouldn't start without the kickstart. Three weeks ago, it didn't start at all, so I borrowed my mother's truck with a lift gate and hauled it to the dealer, four days before Christmas.
They kept it until the weekend after New Year's and replaced the battery because a cell was dead in it... I've had it since then and it has only started four times, I drove it every day, on the fifth day it wouldn't start and it still won't start.
I put it on the trickle charger, but I'm afraid it still won't start and I would really like to not go back to the dealer, because I'm sick of them talking to me as though I'm an idiot. Any suggestions on what to do?

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
