    First of All I know this is an XJ site , But I value and trust your opinions and that is why I choose to put it up here . I have a honda Jazz 2007 scooter , ("metropolitain" in the USA," Scoopy "in Japan), I tried starting it up this past weekend . It ran fine when I closed it last yr . (removed battery, drained Gas ,ect
    When I put the key in the on position , The brake lights and speedometer lights come on , however the Headlamp does not. And it does not start... Seems to be an electrical problem .

    AS well I can hear what sounds like humming noise followed by a Clicking noise coming from the motor and then nothing ...I guess my question is what the hell is that clicking noise. Starter? relay? oil pump motor?

    Meh!?

    Jump it with a car (not running)

    It's not the oil pump. (IMO)

    How cold is it?

    Really? a 1 year old Honda, garage kept, never seen salt won't start?
    I've got a 22 year old Elite a guy just ran in to a ditch at 45, park it in the rain, never seen a garage, runs fine.

    Is yours still under warranty? Got spark? Good luck with it.

    ? blech... thats my luck these days . Im sure its something too simple it has me scratching my tired mind . Im guessing it is a fuse that blew when I took out the battery, or a bad connection . In the worst case , i have a 1 yr full coverage warranty with the Honda dealership .

    Well The Topic ends here ...

    Seems All my worries are over. I am retarted at times....I Should start smoking "the weed " again . There is a Anti theft mechanism with the Front and rear brakes . One must hold down the two in order for the Electric starter to function. It has been 4 months since I've ridden it and prior to that Rode it for 3 weeks when Bought new last October ... I always Kick started it , for the fun . After re reading my owners manual one night , I came across That lil tid mit of info followed by my hand smacking my forehead . Anywho problem solved . Thanks anyway people .

    As Will Ferrell said in Old School, "Good stuff. Good stuff. You keep on truckin'". Or something like that.
