Just turn it counterclockwise, soak it with WD40 before.

Technical | How To / Re: Kevlar belt
« on: June 16, 2026, 06:29:13 PM »
For a 150 (first owner) it will depend on km/mls to change the belt.
If it wasn't tinkered with, leave it up 15 tkm. I saw more shredded kevlar belts than OEM stuff.
Your choice, but I would go for an original BANDO or MITSUBOSHI belt which are KYMCOs OE items.
Except price and sticker KEVLAR I couldn't find any difference.
Edit: people tell in forums (at dealership too) mostly about bad experience with a brand or an item.
I'm inclined to see the small promillage of really faulty (in this case KEVLAR reinforced belts) as a normal wear and tear.
Consumers think KEVLAR (inspired by movies and ads) is undestructable and leave belts longer than recommanded by factory standarts.
Also homemade, unprofessional backyard work with minor knowledge (YT video replaces vocational training) and unsufficiant tooling on vehicles does the rest.

.hawk, I'm with you feeling panic crawling up the spine seeing the pin taking off.
For such delicate snippets I use a small "needlenose fix grip" plier. Ask me WHY.
I rather destroy or pinch a cent piece than to dive into engine bowels for such reason.
A bunch of cable ties is always close by too.

Knew it works, good to see, most parts there on your muffler system are generic. Just look around to avoid OEM pharmacy prices.

Welcome here!
Lot of things done.
In LIKEs case you cannot built on fault-codes, they indicate only a certain bigger area, not a specific culprit.
There is a wide/big connector on the ECUs side.
-take it off tenderly
-check ALL pins whether they are straight
-flush with WD40 or similar
-reconnect carefully
Battery area:
-check for corrosion
-off all cables inclusive fuses
-renew fuses
Regulator/rectifier:
-does it charge the battery properly, 14.5VDC
Ignition coil, cable plug, sparkplug:
- all out again
- replug eyerything from beginning
- NEW sparkplug!
O2 sensor:
- all four cables intact, not bent
- connector ( both parts) in good shape
Fuel pump:
- is there a mesh filter directely on the pumps lower end?
- pump produces enough pressure (3bar~)?
- pump.is tested?
Throttle body:
-if the YELLOW sealed screw was removed you will need most probably a new assy
-throttle cable slack a few mm?
Air intake:
-airintake hose (which leads to airfilter) completely off for now.
(if not messed with, TPS regulates itself)
Muffler: not clogged by rodents?
Good luck

.This a spot where a technician puts a sensor/ feeler gauge to check your NOX values.
In your case there were a "blind" plug, which you most probably lost.
Then go for an inox imbus/headbolt in that size.
Pls see.pic,
-take RH bolt out (the one which holds heatshield)
- try in the middle to plug this hole
- go to a shop
- buy smtg similar
-put an alu washer or two under this plug
Don't worry, nothing bad happens

Yes.
No cowling off.
Fuel pump assy out completely from top.
Check for rotten parts like rubber hose or filter screen.
Empty tank: syhphone out as much as possible
Injector off,
-fuel line extended,
-container for fuel,
-ignition on,
-fuel out,
-several times
Then pump out.

Croatia claims to have 1000 islands, about half of them are connected by ferries. Its great, doing island hopping, particular on bikes, no need for reservation on ferries.

If there was no chain jump why should valves be the culprit?
Kill switch has a green and a white cable...
- take a needle and short this two cables
- Yes, drive the needle through both wires without touching ground
- this two cables towards coil, have secure fit and aren't broken?
- side stand switch engaged?
- tilt sensor/ relay engaged/faulty?
- ground cable from battery minus to engine rotten?
- take a different spark plug (new is no guarantee)
AND AGAIN, is there fuel coming?
Is there a spark?
A systematic search is essentiell.
What does it now?

Excellent battery is a must on ABS vehicles.
Try a setup with jumpercables first.
If it works out, battery swap.
