Do I have a dead scoot?

[RichieJF]

Hi everyone. New to the forum & from the UK.

Need some technical help on my Agility 50 (purchased 2010). It's been icy here recently & I had a very very gentle slide on Monday. My wing mirror and right indicator took a hit but have been replaced and working fine.

My scoot started up on Tuesday fine on both electric & kick. Come Wednesday, the electric start just ticks and has no life. Kick start has a little bit of life but very difficult to get anything.

My initial thoughts were the battery was dead & it's on charge overnight here...however I'm inclined to think it's also a spark plug problem.

My bike has had its rollers and drive belt replaced very recently as well as the engine cleaned/re-oiled about 9 months ago.

Many thanks for any help.

If you took a slide on the right side you may of done something to your coil because the coil is on that side of the bike. also check most of the wireing to see if everything is stell tight. I have taken  few slides I ride all year and did the same thing. Good luck...............

Nah, he's prob fine, just sulking cos you slid him down the road 

Def sounds like the battery's dud or flat to me. See if it starts up after the charge, if not the battery may be gubbed. If you have a car try jumper leads to your scoot and see if it fires up (leave car engine off). If it does it def the battery is flat.

If you dont use the kickstart regularly it can be a pain to kick it over, especially in the cold.

Let us know how it goes.
