    Hello everyone, I'm new on this and was wondering if anyone could help me,the problem is, I was riding my bike and the engine cut out and now it won't turn over the electric start works but won't turn the engine over, it's like it's not connected to the engine as is sound like the engine has no life in it, the kick start keeps jamming and sounds like there's no grind in it, I've had my Kymco Super8 125 for two years and literally never had any problem at all it's been superb and then suddenly this happens out the blue, I'm worried as when I try to electric start it electric works just nothing from the engine, I was wondering if the spark plug broke or stopped sparking could that make the bike cut out and not turn over and I need my bike to get to work as I work about 45 miles away from home and no public transport goes there from by mines so it's the only way I can get there, I would really appreciate it if someone could help in any way, thanks in advance Gary

    Get it to a workshop if your unsure on what it's doing and how to repair it.

    If you need it so badly for work then bring it to a mechanic? Google it for ones nearby and see if they will pick it up.

    Does your bike insurance have breakdown cover? A lot of policies have this.
