2005 Kymco Venox 250 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
The bike, while ridding just
I had something similar on a 600cc Honda. The choke cable had been caught under the tank and didn't retract properly. However if the bike has been sitting for a long time start by checking the plugs, then the air filter then the fuel filter if its easily accessible.
Ok that's the obvious stuff out of the way fuel starvation can occur in older Kawasaki's where the carbs ice up. But I suspect if your bike hasnt been run much either the plug leads or coils are shot or one or more of the main jets in the carbs is blocked.
Hope this helps

2007 Venox., Is there a
sounds like the fuel float to me you could have condensation or trash in tank or you may need to change the float there are no fuel filters on the Venox 250 it also could be the vacume line these are both under the tank and are easy to get to and remove the tank
My Kymco 250 has this weird problem and the shop
This is usually the symptom when water has condensed in the gas tank and made it's way into the float bowl. Drain the carbs. No guarantees, but no money is spent on the suggested fix. Hope this helps.
My venox 250 wont start.
If old gas sat in the carb.s for more than a month it starts to dry up. As it drys up it leaves behind a varnish like film that stops up some very small ports and pin holes inside a motorcycle carburetor. It is also very hard to get out. You can try this before you pull the carb.s for a full cleaning. Use a product called Seafoam, get as much gas out of the carb.s as you can. use a turkey baster and force the seafoam into your carb.s fuel line that you took loose from the fuel tank. Let that set for days 1 or 2. then hook up the fueltank with a mix of good gas and seafoam, (not a lot but enough to start it up. Move the cycle outside as the seafoam will make a lot of smoke if it does start up. If that does not clear up the problem you may have to pull the carb(s) and remove the blows to clean the inside. If you have to do that do not DO NOT MESS with any adjustment screws, DO NOT MESS with any adjustment screws. Just take the carb. bowl(s) off keep each one separate and number them so they do not get mixed up. do not mix up any internal parts. It is best to work on one at the time so nothing goes wrong. Work on a large sheet so if you drop a small part you can find it, you do not want to be missing some tiny spring or screw. Hope this Helps.
When i put gear my
Check kickstand interlock. If you have a switch at your kickstand, this is used to prevent driving with the kickstand down. You can bypass the switch by pulling off the connector and trying to start. Also try to put a shorting wire across the connector terminals. If the bike will go into gear, you have a bad interlock switch.
Battery dies. I have a Venox and I put a volt
to check if the charging system is charging you also need an amp meter hook that inbetween the battery lead on the pos + side of the battery and with the engine running turn on all lights if the amp meter reads - charge its not charging the batery up,,change the reg first,, thats the chepest part,,,the charge will only just be above what you need with all lights on eg 1.5 - 2 amps
No power
Change Plugs and clean the carbs You will be on the road in no time.
Cant find maintenance Schedule
You can either look online on ebay or amazon.com. Did you look under the seat or the control box, sometimes they put the manuals there.
What is a Vapor Lock? How to fix it?
Google " vapor lock " and read the wikipedia definition. Your problem could be vapor lock but I think it is a vacuum problem. If no air can get into the gas tank then fuel can't get out. Most gas caps have a vent aspect built into the cap. Ride your bike with the cap loose. If the problem disappears you now know the source.

Oil filter position
The oil filter is underneath the bike in the front where the large square gray oil pan is located. There are two bolts. One is surrounded by a large circle which is about the size of your new oil filter. Remove the bolt and there will be a small washer then the circular metal plate which cups the oil filter. This has a gasket which seals against leaks and inside of the cupped metal plate is the oil filter. Remove replace, and reinstall the parts in the same order. ,,,
