I am all for finding out what the problem is. My thought on the ignition switch was to confirm or deny that it is the problem or is not. I am open to suggestions on how to diagnos this problem.

Karl I do not have a multimeter I DO have a service manual which I believe has a wiring diagram.. I should clarify that it will sometimes start just by pressing the start button multiple times with out having turned the ignition key on and off. I wonder if I could hot wire it (bypass the ignition switch)  to eliminate the ignition switch as the cause?
 I suppose I could buy a multimeter tho i,ve never used one so I dunno if it would help me.

Grandvista 250 / 2009 grand vista electrical starting problem

New member here with a 2009 GV. When doing a net search i found this post by mrbios.It describes my exact problem..
PROBLEM:
When I push the starter button nothing happens.  The battery is fine.  I'm holding the break lever and the kickstand is up and then I keep pushing the starter button sometimes I turn the ignition key on and off then suddenly it starts up fine. 

mrbios apparently  found a faulty stop switch, repaired it and life was good. My kymco dealer (who i no longer trust) confirmed i needed a new stop switch so i replaced both front and rear switches. My problem is NOT solved and  is intermittent making it even harder to diagnose and solve.
 This is what happens.. I turn on the ignition and the instrument panel lights up. Kickstand up, pull in break lever and push start switch, and the instrument panel goes and stays dark and i have a no start.
 I have found if I push starter in and pumped the brake lever a bunch of times turn the ignition key on and off the starter suddenly works as does the instrument panel  , and off i go with no further problems until the next time the problem occurs. Which might be days or hours later.

  Suggestions anyone??
