Hi fellow biker,

Sounds to me that the starter button wiring is sometimes making a connection, as if you had pressed the start button, then because a brake needs to be on the starter motor spins when you apply a brake, check the wiring for the brake switches, wiring inside handle bar fairing, starter button then where the wires run inside the bodywork - down to the starter relay. I have come across a number of scooters where wiring is cable tied to the framework below the footboards, and after a couple of years has worn through the plastic and caused the bare wires to short out against the framework.

Good luck

P.S. Remember this - Elctrical problems are easy to solve, the hard bit is finding them !
