x8r-x wont start

[eminemscotlan...]

I was wondering if any you guys could help me out here please the problem i am having with my scooter is that i went out on it about a week ago and due to the fact that the previous owner had lost the keys to it i could only start it with the kick with no problems.Now a week on i try to start it the same way and it just wont start.I really need it to start as i am taking it to girders to get work done on it ie ignition barrell etc and it is about 2 miles away

so any help to get it started so as i can ride it up will be very much appreatiated.

Thanks muchly in advance

I take it the dash lights up okay when you turn the key? as your barrel might have gone even more, also if its been stood for a while, the battery might be as flat as a ducks instep so give it a charge, other than that, clean the spark and try that.

cant think of much else sorry.

i aggree. i'm 99% sure that the xr8 uses a 12v cdi unit so if batterys flat even kicking it over wont give out the supply it needs
