Start button problem

[Yoni159]

I have kymco dt 350i 2015 with 81000km and Sometimes you have to press the start button 7 times until it turns on. I heard that there could be corrosion on the button contacts. Could that be the problem? Or maybe my assy stator motor are going do die?

the contacts in your starter button can certainly be corroded, dirty or worn. My 41 year old motorcycle needs the starter button pushed in firmly and straight for it to work. I haven't gotten around to pulling it and cleaning it. I'd start with cleaning your starter button...if that doesn't solve the problem then it is on to other possibilities.

I've recently had to replace one of the switches on the break leavers as they can also fail, which would give the same symptoms as a start button issue. I'm assuming you've tried starting with both break leavers pulled in to rule that out?
