Shouldn't it start by kick starting it even without the starter relay? I have to put it on it's center stand to kick start it because it is in the way otherwise. But I hold both brakes with the key in the on position and have kicked it about 10 times and it doesn't make a sound. Every 2nd or 3rd kick it kinda catches and won't kick easily until I let it go back up, but I think that is normal, at least it is with my lawnmower sometimes when I pull on it. Could I touch both wires for the starter relay together and get it to turn the starter to see if there may be other problems? By the way the battery reads 12.8V so it is charged well. Sorry for all the questions, but I am trying to not freak out over spending $1400 on something that just sits there.

Found this video which pretty much proves it is gone: My frame is just like this one and the place this one is mounted has nothing there. Just two ears. Nasty phone call coming I believe. Dealer PDI my butt.

Think you're right. Also found the signal wires unplugged. Problem is it seems that it either had the solenoid taken out or it was never put in. With the seat being unbolted and the bolts messed up, I almost wonder if some one grabbed it to put on another scooter that needed one and just left it. Saw pics of what is suppose to look like and can't find it. Thought I saw somewhere online that BMS usually has them mounted toward the top but I could be wrong. Wish I had a pic of the Heritage model to compare to. But haven't found a good internal shot.

Kind of a large guy and have trouble getting under the scooter. But the positive goes kind of under from what I can see. Will have to work on it tomorrow if I can get under there to check the coil.

And lastly I notice some extra positive boots. I know these guys have unused connections, so I should assume that is what these are. Attachments:

Only found 2 fuses, one inline from the positive side of the battery and one blade fuse by the headlight going into a box. Looked ok from what I could see. Here is a pic of fuse. Attachments:

Yep held the brakes. But it also has a remote start which starts it without holding the brake and it isn't working either. Kill switch is on run....etc. Horn doesn't work either. Not sure if it has to be running for the horn to work though. Took off front panel and check everything I could see as far as connections are concerned. Not sure where the starter coil is, followed the positive cable until it went under the motor. Haven't taken off plastic around that area yet. It is like there is no power going to the starter, and like I said I tried to kickstart it and it acted as if there was no power, it just rotated the motor quietly. Not a mechanic but I worked in a maintenance shop for a production facility for 9 years in the parts/supply room so I got some sense of things but have no real hands on experience. Want to try the coil with a screw driver like I have seen some do, but am unsure of what to look for and where. Believe these things have a gy6 engine. Think I found the plug but not sure because I have never seen a boot for one on these scooters and this one appears to be plastic if it is, but if it isn't I don't want to break something.

Tried the kickstart and nothing at all. Didn't kick it very hard because I have read of others breaking it. But no sounds at all, just turning the motor.

Just got my BMS Heritage 150, hooked up the battery and the headlight works (won't go into high beam), signals, alarm. But when I try to start, nothing at all. Tried with key, and with remote start. No sounds that I can hear. Haven't taken off plastics yet but wanted to know what to look for. Fuse is good. Just wanted to start it to make sure it would, before I did my PDI. Any info would be great.

Finally got my Heritage 150 from Superior Powersports. The box had a rip in the lower side, noted on invoice. Tiny bend on metal floor plating, also noted. But it wasn't until after drop off that we opened the box containing the storage compartment that we found 2 washers, 2 nuts, and 2 almost totally stripped bolts. As well as this rubber piece with metal rectangular rings on each end. Well I notice the seat wasn't attached, so I opened it up and sure enough the 2 rear bolts were sticking up with washers but no nuts, got this one. Then I find 2 holes in the forward area of the seat/storage area. So that explains the 2 bolts and 2 washers. Like I said bolts are stripped but was able to get them to grab to keep the seat on temporarily. Still don't know if the rubber thing is part of this whole seat mystery or part of the rear storage unit. Uploading a pic. The box where the bolts were was slightly open, as if some one wanted to include the hardware even if the bolts were messed up. Going to find couple of the correct size bolts and see if they will work, if not I may try re-tapping them to a slightly bigger size. Attachments:
