ok...I get nada on the volt meter 11.5 volts....battery voltage ...with the new blocking diode installed no tail light. Unplug diode.....jump diode connector with a jumper and I get 13+ volts and tail light. Totally buttoned up...no charge...battery voltage...no tail light with new blocking diode. Not sure what is going on. I did not ride the scoot for few months (I retired) and got it out and put a few miles on it and the volt meter showed no charge. Normally it will show 13.2 volts when charging and running down the road. I get headlights when I turn the key.. HID install a few years ago and have worked great. With the scoot buttoned up I get turn signals, no tail light but brake light. When I jump the white/red blocking diode connector, I get everything working. Very puzzled....

Received the new blocking diode and still no charge. I checked the three yellow wires and got the same AC voltage from them. Jump the connector on the blocking diode and I get 13.6 showing on the volt meter, hook back up and I get battery voltage. I must have something else wrong or not working. I also reinstalled the original R/R and got the 13 + volts on the volt meter. So I presume that the original R/R is working properly, just not charging the battery. Will continue to trouble shoot the system.

I jumped the blocking diode connector and got 13.5 charge rate on the battery. I have a volt meter installed in the dash on the scooter. So just waiting for the replacement to arrive. Don't understand why I did not do that at the get go and could have saved on a new R/R. I am learning.

It may be the blocking diode but it is called a voltage regulator for a description. It fits numerous ATV's and scooters. The scooter has been a good friend for 7 yrs and over 11,000 miles. Thanks for your help.

JR.. thanks for your help.... I believe that I have tracked it down. I changed the R/R and then I pulled the blocking diode (voltage regulator).  This is what I removed and have ordered the same part to reinstall. I may be confused...oh well... |

Where is the blocking diode...I have not found it, I guess. A picture of the diode would be nice. Thanks...

I found the part on Ebay... it is a voltage regulator...go fiqure. That is what I am having a problem with. The R/R is working, so we will try this. Not sure where the blocking diode is.

Hi..JR... my scooter has a charging probem. I replaced the R/R and still no charge. Pulled the Blocking Diode and I get no voltage either way. I guess it is shorted out. Where can I get a new diode? Thanks...

I think you have a disc brake pad problem, not the disc. Replace the pads first and then hear what happens, a cheaper fix.

The info is on this forum....Look at U-scoot tech library (250 cc and up) in the electrical section. It will be My HID install thread... There is tons of info on this forum, just take the time to look...It is at the bottom of the page...

I passed the 11,000 mile mark on my scoot. It has been fun and will continue to rack up the miles and smiles. Enjoy your ride....
