i've tryed a few things like new battery new magneto

anyone know what i can do?

[alleyoop]

Check to see if a fuse is blown that feeds the instrument panel, or the power wire feeding the instrument panel when the KEY is turned ON has comme loose from it's plug. Trace the wires FROM the instrument panel down and they ususaull will go to a plug then going in to that plug from the other side would be the hot wire with 12v from the KEY SWITCH.

You can get a cheap 12V light tester to test the wires for 12v. They are great for testing for power wires especially on a scoot.

[toadleystoned]

is there a fuse box somewhere?

[alleyoop]

Probably not, check the fuse on the Red Thin Wire coming off the battery. If you turn the KEY on do you have any lights and or when you squeeze the brakes does the brake lights come on.

[toadleystoned]

brake lights work when i squeeze. headlight comes on when revved up  

[alleyoop]

Then the instrument panel is either toast or the power wire came loose. So start looking back there and following the wires from the instrument panel.

[toadleystoned]

it will have to wait until after tomorrow but will do and the red wire fuse is good also might be the r/r

[alleyoop]

Let me ask this before you go and buy an R/R, BEFORE when you turned on the KEY did the instrument lights come on OR would the instrument panel not come on until the motor started? If they did not come on with just the key on then I would suspect the R/R. If they came on just when you turned the KEY TO ON then it is not the R/R, it is being fed by the battery.

the dash lights do come on well i can see them at night but no display is shown
last summer it did turn on with the key before the motor was running
when i was checking lights i did find a blown small headlight and the housing was burnt
still kinda new to alot of this 



i just checked it again the lights in the dash don't turn on at all only when braking and turning 

[alleyoop]

Burnt housing not good, I think the digital panel is toast, it got to much juice for some reason. Maybe someone put in a bigger fuse and allowed to many watts to flow to it. That is why I like actual gauges not digital, the electrical boards are very complicated with resistors and diodes and stuff any one burning out with say to much juice will burn some of the things on the board.

So I really think your panel is toast

[toadleystoned]

a r/r is cheaper then the whole dash i'll try it first when i checked tonight none of the light were lighting up (lightbulb) im going to check the bulbs in the dash then go from there and if it is the dash panel then you getta tell me you told me so lol 

[toadleystoned]

update
pulled the bulbs from the dash panel both were bad would that have to do with the voltage reg?

[alleyoop]

It depends, IF you turn on the KEY and the lights come on then NO has nothing to do with the R/R, it is getting the voltage straight from the battery. NOW if someone put in a bigger fuse coming off the battery than what it's supposed to be then that would send to much juice to the bulbs and blow them, the fuse usually is 7amp or 10amp.

[toadleystoned]

all of the lights are blown so i can't tell if it comes on with the key it did last summer

checked the fuse it's a 20 amp i'll have to go grab some new fuses and replace it

[toadleystoned]

i was riding home the other day and my scooter up and died on me as i was pulling up to the stop light tryed to start it again with no luck i know it's the cdi i just don't know whats killing my cdi's
