Side By Side / 2012 UXV 500i...where is the starter solenoid located?
« on: May 22, 2020, 08:19:47 PM »
Just replaced the ignition switch because the old one froze up and I could not turn the engine off. I could not find a replacement in the US, so shipping time from Taiwan was more than a month. I needed to use the rig, so I had to make some on-site modifications. But, that is not why I am posting. The new ignition is installed. Recharged the battery. When I press the brake and turn the key, all the proper lights ignite, the fuel pump operates but I get no reaction when I try to start it. Nothing...no clicks, just no reaction. To add injury to insult, I can't locate the starter solenoid or the starter. Can someone give me a clue? A response would be greatly appreciated. Ken

Side By Side / 2012 500i exhaust cam worn out
« on: September 02, 2016, 09:44:47 AM »
I bought a used 2012 500i with just under 1000 miles in 2016. It ran great for about a month and then it would not start. It turned over but would not kick over. It had spark. The injector gave off a small puff of fuel. Maybe compression? I live on a small island in the state of Washington with no commercial services of any kind. I trailered the rig via barge to Beast Motor Sports on San Juan island, a Kymco certified repair facility. The mechanic found that the the lobe on the exhaust cam had worn off to such an extent that the exhaust valves would not open. (I have pics and will post if anyone is interested.) He suggests that either the cam was faulty or that the original owner had not removed the break-in oil when recommended. Has anyone run into this problem? Any thoughts on this matter for the good of the order? BTW, KymcoUSA sez they have no recalls for this problem.
