Yes, before I did this test with the jumper wires connected between the wires that come out of the solenoid & the battery terminals, I did indeed connect the two terminals of the solenoid with a screwdriver & the starter motor turned.
So what is known to this point is:
1. The starter motor won't turn with the ignition key on, & starter button pressed.
2. The starter motor turns when the solenoid terminals are connected with a screw driver.
3. The solenoid emits a clicking sound when jumper wires are connected between the wires that come out of the solenoid & the battery terminals. The ignition key is not turned on. The starter motor does not turn while conducting this test.
Do I understand you correctly, that this indicates that the solenoid needs to be replaced?

It's taken me a couple of evenings to juggle domestic responsibilities & time devoted to the scoot.
I have suffered through the punishment of removing the plastic panels.
1. I noticed that the fuse that is connected to the positive battery terminal is 20 Amps. Should I replace it with a 15 Amp one?
2. The grounding wire for the starter is clean & shiny; no rust; not loose. I presume it is making a good ground connection.
3. Unplugged the 2-pin connector that leads out from the solenoid. With alligator clamps & wire, connected one pin of the connector to the negative terminal of the battery. With another pair of alligator clamps & wire, clamped one clamp to the second pin of the connector & touched the remaining clamp to the positive terminal of the battery. The starter motor did not turn on, but remained silent. Only a clicking sound emanated from the solenoid each time I touched the clamp to the positive terminal of the battery. Yikes!
What now?

2006 , JMStar/Jonway VIVA YY250T-2, 244 cc (copy of Honda CN250 upright or vertically oriented) engine.
As stated in the subject line, when the starter button is pressed, the relay or solenoid does not click; it is completely silent. The ignition switch is on. The kill switch is off. The brake light comes on when when either or both brake levers are pulled in. Battery is fully charged. The side stand is not down. Battery cable connections are tight. When I connect the terminals of the solenoid with a screwdriver the starter motor operates normally.
How should I test if the ignition key switch is good?
Does this model have a side stand switch?
I can't remember where I read that if I turn the key on and the lights come on, the diode is bad, that it's shorted across which is allowing the battery voltage to go to the headlights. In this scooter, the lights do come on when the ignition key is turned on. Please tell me where this diode is located, & how to recognize it.
Any other suggestions to get the starter motor to turn when the start button is pressed shall be most welcome.

I have posted in other forums, with no luck; I am posting in this forum as well. I currently ride a 150cc, & would like a SYM JoyRide 200i EVO or SYM RV 200 EVO. These scoots are a little faster than my 150cc, & so I don't come in the way of traffic.
It is now a year later, & I have bought one. Thanks.

I had a similar condition on my scoot. However, the vibrating/shuddering occurred even with the engine cold.
While I had the CVT belt cover off, I removed the clutch drum or bell, & emery cloth sanded the entire inside of the bell.
The clutch pads could be glazed a little or the clutch bell could be slightly warped. Sanding the pads can help too.
On occasion, if a scoot is abused, the clutch bell turns blue from the heat. Hope this helps.
