General Discussion / MXU 250 troubleshooting and parts
« on: June 21, 2017, 12:39:08 PM »
Hey All,

I took some more time the last few weeks and I think I've found all the bugs with my newly acquired MXU 250.  I just need some help with parts and possibly tips on what i'm facing.

Cranking:   My starter is engaged all the time.  I completely removed the solenoid and the starter is still engaging.   What I done in the meantime is put a push button starter on the battery wire and it works temporarily.   With that said, I'm pretty sure I have a bad starter.   I double checked the starter button and it's free and clear of debris.  Do you guys recommend the starters on Ebay?

Safety switch:   Once I crank the engine and try to engage the transmission, it sometimes try to kill the motor when i put it in gear.   I have the foot brake down and the hand brake depressed and it still dies.  But then sometimes, it goes in gear with no issues.  Is there a safety switch I can check?

Bushings:  I noticed that when i'm decelerating, the back end of the ATV is very loose.   I looked and it seems like the bushings are gone.  Where could i find replacement bushings?

Other parts:   I need to replace the front brake pads and air cleaner too.  Could I source those from Ebay too or is there a recommended vendor?

Thanks in advance!

General Discussion / Newly Acquired Kymco MXU 250

Hello All!

I recently acquired an MXU 250.  I was visiting my cousin in AL and saw his neighbor had a four wheeler under the shed that appeared to be sitting for awhile.  I ended up buying it without hearing it run.  Last week I ended up doing some troubleshooting and it appears that the starter is constantly engaged.   As soon as i put the battery cable on, the starter is trying to engage.  In my troubleshooting, I completely removed the starter solenoid and it's STILL trying to engage. 

Does that mean I have a bad starter?
