Why can't you connect it on direct power through your lights switch? Remove it from the stator. Sorry if this question is stupid. DC system is always on and only 12v. I would need to wire in a switch and convert it to a 12v light. Easier to continue to diagnose it. I think I might have a lead on the issue... a grounded wire in the turn signal cowling. Starting tomorrow I'll be isolating the headlights by removing all other bulbs from the system and go from there... |

Could be the hi lo beam switch on the bars I tested that too... continuity correct for each side of the switch when toggled. -Richard |

Having the following issue with my GY6 Scoot:
Headlights and Plate light not working when Engine on and running.
I have pulled most of the cowling and have looked at all wires and collections and see them to be in good shape. I unplugged and plugged back in all connections.
I have unplugged the rear lights 5 pin connector and measured VDC to ground: 100 mV.
Tested Vac off the stator and seeing Yellow-ground of about 15-20, White-ground of about 20-25.
I have tested Resistance across the rectifier. Infinity across all while set to Kilo. I have a back up rectifier that I also tried with no luck, and tested it the same and found Green-Red resistance on this one to be 3.4 MOhm, while the rest were infinity.
I tested yellow wire from rectifier to rear 5 pin to be good.
Scooter is running fine mechanically... just missing the Headlights and Plate Light.
Am I looking at a pair of bad rectifiers?
Thanks,
Richard

That's what I was expecting to hear Alleyoop...
What about the other angle... Reducing the load with LED bulbs? I figure all the running and brake lights... But I am finding mixed feelings on headlights. Many I have come across so far seem to be low beam only... But as high as 88w in equiv lumens power... Very torn. I believe you run LED (less your headlight)... Your opinion on it?
Anyone running a LED headlight set (S2/BA20D)?

Ick... I should have mentioned that. After re-soldering the wire and taping the harness, suddenly I had lights coming back on and the brights indicator was lighting us. So far, this seems to be solved. Broken wire in the harness.
I still have the typical dimming and brightening with rpm, but nowhere near as bad as it was before... Thus why I asked about upgrading the flywheel and stator to at least 8 pole. Not sure I'm in the mood to rebuild the harness to accept a 7 wire r/r so I might pass on the 11 pole.

Broke down and started tracing wires... Found a pinched and broken ground wire in the sleeve under the headlight cowl to one of the headlights. Sleeve was in perfect condition... Grief.
bonus question - On low, do I get a single light and on high do I get both lights?
extra bonus question - any benefit to putting on an 11 pole stator?
thanks a ton guys!

Checked the ground. Solid. Cleaned it, reattached. Still the same issue. Brighter on rev, dim on stop.
Replaced the Voltage Regulator. Still have the same issue.
Is the stator the next item to change?
Stumped.

Greetings all! I got my hands on a 2008 Roketa MC-75-150 today. It was stored in a garage for better part of 2 years. I replaced spark plug, gas, gas filter, battery. Cleaned air intake. After a few hard turn-overs, she fired and purred about 1500 rpm. What I didn't notice till this evening was that the headlights and instrument lights were not working. On low setting - no light at all. On high setting - very very dim light from 1 headlight. Instrument lights very very dim. With the scoot up on the center kick... if I rev'd the scoot... the lights would brighten some and then dim down. With the scoot on the street... I wouldn't see anything till I hit a brake... and then the headlight and instruments would light up some. Instruments would light up a little with accelerator action also. Took some time to run voltage at the battery: - Engine Off - 13.0v
- Engine On, idle - 14.3v
- Engine On, 5k rpm - 15.1v
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richx1
