X1 Manual and Starter

I just got an X1 and am having trouble getting the electric starter to work (The bike turns on via the pullstart, but I'd really like to get this working). I've looked around the forum and have found similar problems but wanted to hear what you have to say.

My first question is, when charging should the key be turned on or off?

Next, what color should the light on the charger be?

Should the switches on the left handle bar be turned one way or the other?

How can I test to see if the starter is good and maybe its just wired wrong?

If you're a member with knowledge on these (which most of you are), could you PM me pics of a step by step procedure to go about this?

**Where can I find a manual for it, I've looked everywhere and have found nothing. This would most likely solve the problems I'm having**

All help is appreciated

The factory manuals are crap, useless.....

Key is best to be left off while charging..

Not sure what you want to know about the left switches...

my light is green when charging, depends on how the chinese wired the charger...

Take the elect start crap off the engine, gain some rpm's.... real men don't need elect start jk'n

taking the elec start off, is for the most part fairly easy, thanks to 125cc I had a better understanding on what all to do

you gain revs without the starter?

revs did improve, I would guess roughly 200 more rpms, its not a big gain, but it did improve

i just got a x1 pocket bike it was used and it don't have a pull start i am still wateing 4 that to come in the mail but it has a auto start and when i try to start it with that all i get is a click click and the lights will go hi and low and some time i get nothing but idk if it is a wireing prob or what i tryed looking all over the net 4 a new wiring diagram but still no luck can some one tell me where i can find the diagram or help me with my clicking prob as i am lost with this 1



thank you who ever can help with this

Well either the battery is dead or the silnoid (yes I know I spelled that like a 2nd grader). Its the black part right next to the gas tank under the cover. Hell it may just be that the nut is loose on the bolt for it.

yes, the clicking is the solenoid trying to send power through to the starter. it clicks when your battery doesnt have enough power to start the bike.

check that the 2 bolts on it are tight and/or charge your battery

ok well i was working on my bile last night and i got it to crank over but it trys and stops and trys and stops and i also have a bat charger hooked up and it's a new bat i just put in but i also to the spark plug out to make shore im getting spark and it is bright blue so it's good but when i have the plug out it kicks over like crazy but the sec i put the plug back in and i get to half crank like a lil puff and that's it what should i try next a new starter b\c the are cheap but that's not the point i was just going to try and use a pull start but now i don't know if it is worth the tim and money

Reset the mixture screw on the side of the carb to 2 1/2 turns out. It's the straight headed brass colored screw. Also turn the little silver phillups screw in alittle.

The reason it cranks over like hell when the plug is removed is because they isn't any compression in the cylinder like there is when the plug is installed.

ok well so far i tryed every thing and still nothing thank you all for the help and if you know of more things i could try b\4 i go out and buy a new starter and pull start i would appreciate it but i bin looking on this web sight for the parts i would need and i will add th link in this message b\c may-b it can or will help some one else with parts and stuff they are looking 4 X1 Pocket Bike Parts

I would get this it's not your starter.
Solenoid

Its the $12. silenoid.

I would also check to make sure you have a good ground. By undoing it off the motor mount and scrap some paint off around the bolt hole than put the ring connector back on the motor mount.

Than check the other end of the wire to see that it has a good connection there too.

I would also make sure the coil doesn't have to small of a gap between the coil and flywheel. It may be just rubbing enough to slow the starter down. It should have the space as thick as a business card.

Are you using the choke at all and trying it in different positions? are you putting a little hand throttle into it when trying to start it?

ok i did all that and still nothing but my friend helped me with it he has a van with a high power bat and we used it to jump start the bike we got it to crank over like it should but we didn't get it to start yet he looked at solenoid and told me it is bad and i have to get a new 1 and he also told me it would not hurt to get a new starter 4 it b\c it is on it's way out but there is a few things i have to get 4 it such as the brake with the wire 4 the starter so i know that is the 1st thing i got to get that and a pull start just 4 now and then down the line a new electric start but when i do get it running how can i make it go faster with out takeing off the electric start b\c im also fixing this bike up 4 my daughter to ride and i want it as easey as can be 4 her to start and that way i can also just take the key away from her so she can't just jump on it and ride it and get hurt

ok so i was in hear not all that long ago and i fixed my x1 pocket bike how ever i have 1 more ? with the x1 pocket bike i do not have a charger but i do have the pull start if as im rideing the bike will the bat charge it self or do i have to go out and buy the charger 4 like the horn lights and so on and so forth can some one please get back to me with this 1 and if it does charge as the bike is running how does it do that it is not like a car with a alternator i don't think if some one can help me with this 1 thanks

john

Yes the battery should charge while riding it.
