I think this will be the last report on the "diode deal". Both diodes were wired into the same harness. As are the relays I replaced them with. I took one of the relays out and the scooter runs just fine. So I have a spare 30-amp relay.
My goal for this winter is to clean up the wireing harness and replace most of the connectors
with the "trailer type" connectors.
Thanks JR and everyone for your imputs.

Glad to here all is well RP, this one really threw me for a loop! Just never heard of two diodes in any scooter.

Glad to here all is well RP, this one really threw me for a loop! Just never heard of two diodes in any scooter. JR I'm having the exact same issue with them burned out, it's causing my voltage to run at 20v spiking to 30 when revved. I ordered a different set than what came in it to see if they will work, being slightly heavier duty. I may go with this relay option if they burn out again. Bumping this for any info others have now since this thread was originally posted and adding photo's here to show you what he and I have. IDK why these burn out, but I'm guessing (hoping) that's why my scoot is running voltage high enough to burn both headlights and half the dash lights in 30 seconds. My diodes will be here tomorrow. We will see. Scoot: Xy260 with the laydown 257cc engine. It's a Suzuki Burgman clone with a yahama linhai engine. There is no information anywhere on these diodes. Can anyone provide some technical data on these?  |

 one1 I need to know a few things, does this scooter have a on/off headlight switch and a headlight dimmer switch or just a headlight dimmer switch only? Also I do not think these are diodes but rather load resistors for the headlights when they are in the off position. Also can you actually trace the wires to the origin? I need to know the answer to my question about the on/off swich. JR

"My scoot switches are These, but the headlights are always on and they don't turn them off so IDK why they are even there."
Why? So you can opt for full-time high beams, of course. (FYI, when I was fighting some voltage/charging problems I added a total on/off switch so I could run in daytime without headlights -- LED running lights were good enough.)
