Hi guys When I first purchased my LX50 the bike started however it took a few turns to get it started. It turned but wouldn't start all the time. The guy that's sold it to me showed me why. See pics below. The cog/metal thing you see in the pic turns or engages when you press the ignition, but sometimes it got stuck. He greased it and it worked perfectly for a couple of months until tonight, where the bike turned and made that weird whirring noise but it didn't engage and start. Can I spray a bit of wd40 at that thing in the picture?? Thanks!
How's the battery? My LX was making the weird whirring noise and not starting. Battery was at 11.3v, not enough to fire her up. Once charged-up overnight, it's all good again.
I had a mechanic friend test the battery and it was sitting at 12.5v and the scooter has run perfectly for 2 months. Didn't do it again this morning, just strange!!
