Unplug the headlight switch when you start it for 2 or 3. Min then plug it back it and go. When your done with the ride unplug again for 2 or 3 min . It will charge up fine. Or switch over to leds.

I don't like the numbers are your headlight working normal brightness .

If the switch has 4 wires/4connections ohm it out . two termnals will be zero ohms in the off position the other two will be "OL" when you switch the run position the readings will reverse . with the switch in the off position the two termnals with zero ohms is your ground and the other termnals are for switched power .

Please define "voltage holds" What voltage ac off the stator or dc from the regulator (red wire) and what are the voltages ?

you crossed the ground with power , your kill switch is a ground , if your ignition switch is 4 wire it switches power on and ground off in the run position . Then is the off position turns power off and closes ground .

When I did this I wanted more power , I went with the 11pole stator and 7pin regulator . Now I never ever worry about the charging system . Even when I use my Gerbings heated clothing .

the item marked hi/low relay looks like , the indicator for the hi beams on the dash . Or did I miss it that ?
Sorry I don't buy that is the correct regulator . Here is why, I belive the regulator takes all the ac , it loads it down as the rectifier cuts the pulses . Any excess dc should/will be shunted to ground . Thats not what is going on here . I have seen several talk about balance between ac and dc in the charging system . The only rectifier that I know that needs balance is an item that was barley touched on and that is the weatstone bridge (google will get a workout on this one link me too so I can try to make heads or tails of it ) The mention was so breif I don't remember much about it . There is a twist in the circurtry in the 4pin regulator . If the regulator you got is a fullwave rectifier than maybe you need a halfwave rectifier .
If there was not so much bickering I would be able to find the post from when I tried to work through it . I think my overcharging was like 16vdc .
If money was a problem I would take the overcharging regulator and up the headlight wattage and call it a day .

Its a switch on the handle bars hi/low flash to pass.

Take the one that overcharges and use the ballast resistor. Its cheaper than a battery.

What year is the scooter post 07 no ballast resistor pre 07 they came with ballast resistors .

remember there is a filter/capactor internal of the regulator , it could alter you resistance readings . Itook the readings in resistance not diode check . Remember a capacitor will pass ac and block dc . The cheapest way out is the the overcharger and balast resistor . You could up the wattage on the bulbs to keep the voltage down . I have heard of blowing every bulb on a scooter because of acv going too high . ( I suspect when one bulb goes and one does not see it the voltage spikes and blows the rest of them)

the readings were taken from a good regulator the . The measurments were taken from pin to pin rotationg around . I have a regulator that will cause overcharging , if you want it to work you will need to add a balast resistor . I never got the problem sorted out , one regulator will overcharge , the other ones will charge perfect with dim headlights . The whole thing is a crap shoot on the regulators . With JR's help I ended up converting to 11pole stator and 7pin regulator . Perfect 14-14.5 charging voltage , converted to dc lights .

Are your headlights ac or dc ? and when you plug the ground what is the system voltage on the red ?
