Had an experience like this when I bought a Hyosung Sense off CL for $200. Taking the plastics off was easy, but the seat bucket area had a panel welded over it which made working on the engine a huge PITA!
Fortunately my Yamaha is very easy to work on as well, just like the Chinese bike I started with. Anyway, I would try a new battery first, or test it with a jump from your car. Next is to start looking into the wiring and/or the starter relay, but I would be surprised if the wiring was the issue on a kymco.

I just put a new battery in it. Same problem. Hit the starter button and it just clicks at the starter relay. I tried jumping the power wires in the starter relay plug but got nothing. Kicking it over gives me a weak spark but that might be an engine speed-no power to the system problem. I'll keep digging.
I just may try the jump from the car trick. Maybe a bigger battery hooked up might reveal something.

Further update:
I haven't been very enthusiastic about working this thing. After numerous tests I've discovered the starter motor is burned out. I couldn't get it to spin until I removed it and jumped it on batteries. On the stock battery...nothing. On a 10 amp battery.....nothing. Off my car battery it spun but immediately got hot. A new one is $70 plus shipping. I had it spin at one point but it didn't engage. Some day soon I'll pull the variator cover to see if the starter gear inside is shot. On the parts page I found instead of giving me a price it said, "Call for price" Code for, "Are you sitting down?" Better yet. The VIN number starts with "L" designating a Chinese build. Chinese built and they charged $2200 for this thing???!!! Plus all reports give it a 30 mph top speed. Can you say "Hoax"?
