Just spent two hours, going over lites, grounds, plugs. Came in to have a brew, and relate on Chinese ancestry? Read your post, I'm convinced the problem is within a brake switch!
Sprayed &tapped, still starts without holding the brake. I noted on the right, in the very back
There is a small 1/16" post, when I held this in, switch on, no lites. No start without holding
Brake lever! Will play with it some more. Thank you! NOTE: After 30 years, I have built up my
Land 18" higher than my next door friends . Scooter was under patio & tarp, nice & dry. Such is
Life in south Louisiana .

Post note, starts without holding in on brake lever? Removed all bulbs, disconnect all wires,
Normally this would not bother me, but with brake lites constantly on, it becomes a safety
Issue. Tried working levers in case one was stuck, no change.

How y'all are, came home to a flooded yard, only one foot deep. Every thing is all right.
Added another brake lite, LED, wired it up with neg ground, checked out good. Added LED
In brake lites 1157, checked out. Ran running lite off license plate, also LED. Check out.
Checked turn signal lites, good. Replace rear body panels, Check voltage @ 12.4. Started up
The brake lites stayed on, voltage rose to 14.4, dropped to 13.7. Had to readjust idle, after
Warmed up. Brake lites, still on after releasing brake handle. Checked fuses, all good. Question
Is it possible for brake lite switch to fail in open, power position? I'm normally good with
Electrical work, thanks for any ideals!

Hi on your post if not 180* apart, take a file on the 145* & file down smooth. One post will
Hold in socket, used this idea, many years ago, The QC is poor, hope this helps.

Got a couple of days off, finished PDI, found a lot of loose bolts, loose connections on wiring,
Still not satisfied with placement of fuel filter, also added a fuel shut off. Added another ground
On brace above the horn, tapped 5/8" bolt hole, mounted 12 volt relay, with 30 amp fuse &
10 gauge wire off + side of starter relay. Ran scooter about 8 miles to check engine and running
Gear. I'm starting to replace the plastic , ran out of daylight & time off, I work on a liftboat in the
Edge of the Gulf. You all take care.

Good to know, thanks about the value stems! I have added a Bad Boy horn, makes a louder noise.
My first scooter was a 62 Yamaha 50, added a 6Volt air horn, till the cops made me take it off.
Sad I was scaring the old ladies, I told them, it was self defense! I do thank you for your concern.

I'm the owner of a new Jonway YY250T performing my first PDI. Boy did I step into it big
Time. I'm learning how much I really do not know. I've changed the engine oil, antifreeze ,
And Oil in the rear end. I'm in the process off changing fuel and vacuum lines, and adding
Blue loctite on the bolts. Also checking for loose electrical connections.
