so my eletric start stoped working and i had to use my scooter for a couple days before i could bring it to the shop , and now i cant start it and my kick start is impossible to use, as well as making a horrid noise when i attempt to start.

ive searched the forum and came up with atleast one rumor that everyone seems to know of a guy who cracked his case using his kickstart? and it kinda makes sense to me considering it sounds like 2 gears not hooking up correctly..

the ET4 kickstart is easy to strip - it sounds like that's what's happened.

Not exactly a rumor:

That's what I thought. I had it down to a fine art; the last time I did it on mine, I cracked the transmission case. It had been fine countless times before. I will never use it again!

You're find they're simply not on the new models- wonder why?
