I bought my son an XT 50 and have a few questions. The kill switch does not work, took it out completely and shorted it at the connector but still wont kill engine. With engine running you can take the key out and it still runs. If you stop it by putting down the stand you cannot use the electric starter but if you kick it over it starts without a key in the ignition and ignition turned off? Not sure where to look now but need to fix it as anyone can start it and ride away

I would start by unplugging the ignition switch connector block, and then try kicking it to see if it fires up, if it does you need to investigate further, if it does not then the ignition switch is wired wrong, and that would explain why the kill switch does not work, a wiring diagram is available here http://hypermotos.com/helpGB.html I printed off the pdf file, not exactly the clearest, but you can make it out. Good luck and let us know how you get on. To the other guy with the indicators that do not flash, you will find the flasher unit behind the right side panel, just above the battery (probably a diode dropped off with vibration)
I have had the misfortune of buying an Xt50-18 for my son.

thanks
the engine is a 4 stroke i have a kinroad xt50 gy, too. sorry for my bad english... i come from germany.
Thanks a lot,
Thanks for all of the help so far. When i mentioned that i had shorted the kill switch i meant to say with the engine running i had the kill switch apart and used a peice of wire to short the two wires to the switch (green and black/white) not sure which one is earth, one at a time to see if i could stop the engine but no luck. I bought the bike second hand but it only has 980 miles on it and none of the ignition looks as it has been apart. I am now going out to the garage to further investigate the ignition switch. I did look for a wiring diagram but could not find it at the link provided. Anybody got a complete wiring diagram for this bike. I am an aircraft engineer by trade and this bike aint going to get the better of me!!!!!!! Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free
Further to my last reply i have just come back from the garage more confused!!! Took the advice and disconnected the ignition switch completely at the connector. Put the stand up, kicked it over and it started???? Had a look at wires from kick stand which have a grey,green and a black wire. the plug from it only has two wires black/white and a green.The centre wire from the kick stand plug is green but connects to nothing. I did notice that the battery has the obvious black wire connected to it but also has a green single wire to the negative also.(which looks as if it should go to the kick stand plug instead Not sure if someone has been playing with wires so that you do not need a switch to start or the ignition switch crapped out and they have wired it to start anyway. Can anyone look at the battery on another bike and see if the battery has a green wire going to the negative connection??? A wiring diagram would help!!!!!
wiring diagram here http://www.hypermotos.com/wiring_diagram.pdf Green wires are common on these bikes, so it should be connected to the neg terminal of the battery. Dont worry about the extra wire on the side stand switch connector, probably has a function on another bike but not this one. Just looked at the diagram myself, I think you will find that the black/white wire from the kill switch and the ignition switch which need to be earthed out on the green wire, join up somewhere in the loom, and that you will have no continuity on this wire between the side stand switch (which works) and the ignition/kill switches which dont work, find the break, fix it, and you will be in business.

Took the whole loom apart on the bike-yep all the black tape had to come off!! Found a broken wire whwere two wires join a single wire. Have now decided to re wire complete bike with decent connectors. Just a quick word of caution to anyone who has electrical problems. I have taken the wiring loom completely apart and was shocked at how bad the joints are put together. Some of the wires are joined by twisting 2 or 3 wires together and a blob of solder with tape over the top.I am cutting all of this out to put decent connectors in. I also noticed as i was cutting my way into the loom how much water i found inside which added to the solder corroding away. Dont want to see my son pushing this bke for miles so will spend a bit of time on it and get it right. Thanks to everyone who helped. He now wants it to go faster so i might have to get my engineering machining skills out and give it a tweak ot two.
1st. Does anyone know what psi the tryres should be for the 50cc chopper. 2nd. I know I might sound like an idiot asking this, but what's the loom? I'm trying to sort out some electrical problems and I've printed a wiring diagram. My bike doesn't seem to have an indicator relay (may have been removed by previous owner?) Someone on here said that they found water and bad connections in the loom. Where and what is it? because I'd like to check the wires in mine sometime. Thanks.
The bad wiring i refer to is found just after the length of plastic conduit "plastic pipe" which the wires travel through.
NEED BITS FOR YOU KINROAD? My email is [Log in to view email] email me with the parts you need and i will get back to you with a price including postage. Everything must go on the bike from the engine to the lights.
