Yesterday I went to ride the scoot it was working fine came home gt something to eat then decided to take it to the gym. But it wouldn't start.... It doesn't click. The gauges work all that. Checked the fuses, charged it over night, still nothing. When I pull the brake I an then hit the ignition button it does NOTHING. Please help.
Roketa Bali 250

It's not the ignition
Not the fuse or plug
sounds like a connection in the brake lever switch thingy
(and yes, those are official scooter terms)

Is your brake light coming on when you squeeze the brake handle?
Sometimes the fuse holder contacts drop down in the holder and don't make contact with the fuses. On my Bali I have a problem with the fuse that the turn signals run off of. When they quit working I have to push the contact back up into place and they work again. I need to get around to changing out the fuse block. Look at that and see if it is causing your problem.

Davec - where would that be located?
Gatekeeper - I checked that fuse box holder this all the brackets seem to be in good shape. I'm at work right now I will see about the lights When I get back home.

Looking at the fuse box is not good enough sometimes the contacts that the fuse pushs into are pushed down and do not make contact with the fuse. You need to check every fuse to make sure current is passing from one side of the fuse to the other(GET A VOLT METER) and test each fuse . Also under the box is a BLACK wire which carries the juice to the box that sometimes comes loose etc.. Also check your Solenoid I do not know if yours has one but some have a 20A fuse built into the SOLENOID and if that is blown it will not activate the Starter. Did you check the fuse on the wire coming off the RED POSITIVE battery post. Alleyoop  |

Did you try squeeze both sides? Alleyoop, If he has the 250b horizontal engine like mine, he should have the 20A fuse in the solenoid.

Yes I checked the red wire coming off the battery I had that problem befor haha. Comin from my fuse box I a bunch wires.... I will check them when I get home also.
I checked th fuse that connects to the the red battery wire & replaced that as well.
I guess I will have to buy a volt meter tomorrow.
Also say I do pull in my brakes and my brake light AREN'T on then what is loose? And what wire should I be looking for? I tried pulling in my front break and back break to start it earlier and nothing worked... But this was before I heard about checking to see if my tail lights were working or not.

If the brake light doesn't come on when the brake levers are squeezed, it means you have an open component in the starter button/brake light circuit. Components include battery, fuses, brake light bulb, brake light switches, keyed ignition switch and the wires linking these components.
Start with the fuses. It's not enough to just look at the fuse to check it. They can look good and still be open. Use a multi meter to ensure continuity.

This is what it looks like and if it has a FUSE it will be right there you will not miss it because it is part of the solenoid. You will find the solenoid close to the battery JUST FOLLOW the THICK RED wire on the battery and it will connect to one of the post of the Solenoid. Alleyoop  |
