Stolen Compagno 110i
« on: February 20, 2020, 03:23:51 PM »
I'll post pics if you guys want to see this mess.

While hanging out with my friend one night someone either walked off with or loaded up my scooter in a truck somehow without me noticing. Like an idiot i didnt have the fork lock on so yeah probably my fault.  Oh and it just so happens my friend has cerebral palsy so they indirectly stole from a disabled kid since we were at his house.

Fast forward 3 months. Police show up at my door 9am on a sunday. They say theyve found it and its not running.  i have 20 minutes to get half way across town to pick it up.  Otherwise they plan to impound it and i'll have to pay to get it out.  Refuses to give me ride back down there, even though he was going that way.  So luckily i make it in time, and luckily some nice old lady let me leave it at her house long enough to pick it up the next day once i found someone with a truck.

So scooter recovered... and like i said i'll post pics if anyone is interested.

They literally BLOW TORCHED all the trim around the ignition lock assembly. a complete mess. then they clipped the wires right at the connectors, both ends.  It's a nightmare, sadly this was our only method of transportation.  We did get another used scooter that barely runs but now it has gone from only kick starting to now the direct drive is broken somehow.  I'm having a lot of fun here as you guys can tell.

So im a locksmith by trade and im pretty good at working on these switches and what not, i had no trouble getting it apart to try to fix the wiring. but none of the wires match color wise.  and so here i am trying all these different combinations of wires and nothing works.
And with it being a 2018 compagno 110i there is hardly anything online for me to look at. I'm not even sure if its possible to wire directly to the switch. 

tl;dr make sure you use a fork lock and just because you think your scooter is safe doesnt mean it is. also, kymco is weird.

It sucks you're having to go through this.  Low life's are everywhere so stay vigilant.   You should be able to get a shop manual from Cyclepedia that would have all the repair information for that scooter.
In parts 200S and Grand Vista and my motorcycles 2 CS BMW'S and one GS BMW.

Sold-32 Kymco scooters of various sizes this summer.

Don't beat yourself up about that fork lock.
Watch any number of videos - thief sits on the seat and a quick foot stomp to the left grip breaks the fork lock and he goes running off with it.

You're not living in London, UK, are you? Very hard to hang onto a scooter there!

I'm in Arkansas actually. And yeah the fork lock isn't much. The pin itself might be made out of stainless steel but you can easily break it free with enough force.  I just cant get over how they blow torched it. I'll post pictures tomorrow!

Yeah i did find this https://www.repairmanual.com/product/cyclepedia-kymco-compagno-110i-scooter-printed-service-manual/

Far better then spending 260 for a new harness and 90 for a new lock just to get the connectors i need... Hopefully it is possibly to directly wire into the switch without the connectors but i'm afraid something might be fused or have a resistor inbetween the connections. I did find out that it is 1 4pin 2 pron connector and then the blue/yellow wire connects by itself to something... If i just had a picutre of the the connectors actually... connected that would help me

Another otion is to check ebay for a used wire harness  from a salvage bike. They might have replacement panels as well. 

Do you have a local Kymco dealer that would let you look at their service manuals or tell you what the wire configuration is?

It looks like there's 4 dealers in Arkansas PineBluff, Springdale, Jonesboro, Little Rock.

Yeah the stealership wants me to haul the scooter to them and they wont just repair the wiring they want to redo the bezel on the headlight, the trim that was destroyed and all this other stuff. which none of it is covered. its a mess. they did say they would order me the parts, but that i cant just get the connectors i need... and their "kymco guy" was dumbfounded when i told him the wire colors dont match.

Did you try the parts dept they have diagrams of the whole machine?  I would talk to them in person so they would more likely to help you.

Once i get a ride out to Benton i'll give that a try.  You see when we bought the scooter they were in town not too far away, now they have moved and its a 30 minute drive... Thanks for the advice.

Hopefully they will be more friendly then your experience with the mechanic.  I sat down with the parts guy and priced out parts for a project Kymco scooter.  I bought a service manual for the information in my rebuild from Ebay, I was able to get a kymco service manual for 20 bucks plus shipping.

A Compagno could be mistaken for a small frame Vespa by a thief, especially in the dark.
In other words a very expensive prize.
Nevertheless,  a darn shame to have one's important means of transportation damaged.
Hope you get it sorted.
