Why won't my Yamaha Vino 50 scooter starter and kickstart engage?

by Randy
(Chula Vista, CA)

Someone moved my scooter, now it won't start - when I press the starter button I hear a slight noise and all lights go dim. I then tried the kick start and the kick start won't engage - the kick will just go down fairly easily. Before the scooter was moved it worked just fine. Do you have any ideas/ Randy

Well we figured it out. There is a drive belt that connects the crank to the transmission - of course you cannot see this belt because it is behind a metal cover. The belt was shredding and got stuck in the gear of the starter -so the starter did not work. It also wrapped around the engagement gear for the kickstart so the kickstart just slipped. After removing the starter and cleaning out the pieces of belt (still did not know it was the belt yet). The next thing that happened was the belt actually broke. When we opened the cover that is when we figured this all out. Belt was replaced and clutch - scooter works great now.

Battery Tender Junior in package

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.
