Scooters - 125 to 300 => Downtown 300 => Topic started by: jerzybuster on April 15, 2015, 02:27:48 AM

Somebody just gave me a 2012 Downtown 300. I never owned a scooter before and need some help. I tried to start the thing, the lights and horn look and sound strong but i try to start the engine and i get nothing, not even a click. Is there a fuel cut off or a fuse i might be missing?

Could be a bad starter relay. Maybe pull the battery out and have out checked, the horn and lights aren't a 100% indicator of a good battery. Next would be the starter button itself. Maybe since you got it for free you could spend a little and have a shop just go through it.

sounds like you are trying to start it with the side stand down, or the kill switch off,
-
Also you have to squeeze one of the brake levers. It won't start unless the brake light is lit

You guys are awesome, I guess it was the kickstand being down that was my problem. Now i can take to to a shop and have them give it a tune-up and check it over. Thank you so much for your help, I'm sure i will be back here with some more questions.

You found the right place, Jerzy! The people here know the answers as most of the dealers don't. Have a nice ride and watch out for old guys in Buicks! Heck, watch them all on four wheels....
