Hi there everyone.
Just picked up a 2019 Agility and here is what is going on so I am asking the hive.
1st - The bike starts with no issues via the kickstarter. Power is on, lights up, blinkers, etc...however...the electric start button doesn't do anything. No clicks, no sound, no nothing. I checked for continuity on the power and starter switch, and we're good. The guy I bought it from said it sat out in the Florida weather for two months, so I wonder if the starter motor is rusted up (?). Maybe worth a wack with a hammer...other than that, any ideas?
2nd The throttle assembly is a bit sloppy (meaning it moves around). Might be able to work with this as it seems that the the lower bolt is not OEM and is 'bottoming out' before it pulls the two pieces of the assembly together. Anywho - I was thinking about replacing the entire throttle assembly, but I can't see it anywhere on the parts listings.
Really happy with this little bike and want to make sure she's running good
Thanks everyone and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for the welcome
Nothing yet, but thanks for the parts look up.

Maybe worth to check battery and ground cable , battery/motor.
Edit: this starters don't bear well with wacking on it. Its solenoid inside could brake loose from vibrations. Better take it out and have a look.
Starter relais is the one with fat red and black cable on top and sits up on RH frame.

Hi there. Thanks for the reply!
The motor runs fine and there is fire from the kickstarter. I ran around the neighborhood yesterday. The battery is showing lots of juice so I also don't think thats the issue. Maybe some sort of starter relay (FB Group mentioned that as well but I don't know where to look for that as of yet.)

I purchased a new starter relay based on somebody else's diagnosis; unfortunately, that still didn't fix the problem.
Like I was saying. The battery has plenty of juice, but something is 'broken between the switch and the starter.
Any other ideas?

Pls see pic...

Well, I found a video on Youtube and the guy had a different scoot, but the exact same issue. Pressing the starter button he got nothing...
He removed the switch and used sandpaper to clean the contact surface as well as the spring. Put it back together and it started without issue...
So I followed his steps...and VROOM...go figure. Something as simple as cleaning the spring and switch contact...
Thanks to everyone who replied.

Yep - when you push a button and it doesn't work - the button is not a bad place to start!
Thanks for sharing!
