Niknak78 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi thereNew to the site.Looking for advice, kymco ck125 sat in garage for a year, not starting. Battery replaced etc and managed to get it started by bypassing the actual starter button. Any advice how we remove the switch to try and fix. Manual that came with the bike isn't great.

Guest Swagman Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hello and welcome try spraying wd40 into the switch and working it a bit that may help clear it, usually caused by the brass contacts becoming tarnished give it a go .

Niknak78 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Ty for that, is the switch easy to remove (sorry it's my dad that's doing the work wouldn't want to do something that damages the bike) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rennie Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hello and Welcome contact cleaner would be better than wd40! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 As [mention]Swagman[/mention] said, usually it's just two screws clamping the whole assembly to the handlebars.The problem with taking it apart can be getting all the parts inside back together in their proper place Far easier to give it a dousing of wd40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 How did you bypass the switch out of curiosity ? Did you just cross the solenoid or did you join the wires from switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niknak78 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 How did you bypass the switch out of curiosity ? Did you just cross the solenoid or did you join the wires from switch He hooked up wires to starter motor and bike started immediately. That why we think it's the starter switch that is broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
