The kick start seems to be more of a secondary back up system on these scooters, not a primary use. I'd get a new battery as soon as you can to prevent kick start failure.

If your lights turn on without it running, they are on a DC circuit

Thanks for the warm welcome! Welcome Justin , I hear BBK make scooters faster , they also help them break down faster too. Power is in the tyranny/CVT and carb. John Never said big bore kit. I'm thinking more along the lines of a cam with some light porting work, maybe deck the head a couple thousanths to bump up the compression. At the same time playing with fuel injection could be fun too!

Hello everybody! My name is Justin, I'm 26, and from southern Maine. I've had a couple scooters in the past, this is my 3rd. Decided to stay away from bigger bikes, I seem to lack self control . I've owned everything from pit bikes to cruisers. My current scooter is a Vento Sauron 125. When I picked it up it was all stock with a hideous red metallic flake paint job. It had a great top speed of just over 62 mph (gps verified) After a month of being ragged on about the "awesome" paint job, I stripped it down and had the body panels painted platinum grey metallic (almost an exact match to Volkswagen gray). While I had the body off, I pulled the harness out and removed the factory alarm/remote start. I traced all the wiring from the alarm back to the splices in the harness and removed it there. While I had the loom cover off and the body panels off I decided to upgrade my horn too! Ran a new power wire through the factory loom cover for a clean look. I don't have any pics of the actual horn installed, guess I got caught in the moment putting everything back together. Came out good though, just enough room in the nose section to mount it with a small custom bracket. Mounted the relay where the factory alarm siren went. Soldered and shrink wrapped all connectors for a good tight seal. This is what it currently looks like (note the factory smoked turn signals). In the future I need to get rid of that joke of an exhaust, order some taller gears, and figure out what I want to do with the motor for extra power to turn the taller gearset. Also into cars, current cars are 2011 Kia Optima, 96 Blazer and a 92 Talon TSI AWD. You can see the Kia in the background a little. One last note if you are still reading, sorry if my spell check changes stuff and I don't catch it. I do 99% of my posting from my phone, including this one.
