Long wait to get right handlebar switches installed, finally picked it up, all appeared normal, drove it home and got flickering dash lights again at higher rpm. Taking it back Wednesday for a second look, he says he now suspects bad ground on regulator just from my description of symptoms. The beat goes on …. Considerable reassembly work and plastic repairs once it's finally road ready, won't be making any long trips for awhile. Still way too hot after 9 am and monsoon rains are way too slow in coming.

Well, he's checking continuity everywhere again, using the full YP-250 user manual recommended by RapidJim, so we'll see what he finds. It's way above my electrical paygrade, and I can't trust it out on the open road again until this is fully resolved. As you know, there's a thousand different wires and connectors under all that plastic. Just hoping it's nothing big that would involve another endless back order time, like R/R or CDI or stator.

Well, moot point for me right now as fixit guy is still chasing the electrical problem that causes lights to flicker at higher rpm. Mom'n'pop operation, has lots of other work that make him more money than my scooter, so it spends a lot of time on the bottom of his priority list. He's the only game in town, though, so just have to wait it out. Would be more frustrating if good riding weather, but look at well over 100 next couple weeks.
If there were a lot of good, affordable, non-Chinese trikes on the market I'd be getting close to putting it on Craigslist "as is" and taking whatever I can get for it, but I'm not interested in any Can-Ams or the like.
