My kymco zing only kick starts. I have a question- is it normal for the rear light to come on when you turn the key before starting? it seems to me to be a design fault or the fault of the previous owner! Is this the original design and if so do you suggest rewiring it so that the rear light comes on after the motor starts? will this facilitate the push button start?

Hi, I'd check that one of the brakelight switches isn't stuck on, as if it's the park light it should put the front one on as well, some bikes have the headlight/taillight hardwired so come on with ign. on. The starter should have a fuse, check it, if ok, follow the main wires from the starter motor to the solinoid & check power's getting through with a test light (an old globe with a length of wire will do), the solinoid should have one large power cable to it from batt. with full time power, another the same going to starter that get's power when start button's pressed & a smaller one which should get power when start button's pressed (activates solinoid). if it is getting power to the starter when button's pressed, starter probably needs new brushes or just a good clean out, hope this helps.
