But how does it work ?

I didnt test wire switching as I found that if I tested the stator at the end of its own connection, I got readings that are exactly as they are supposed to be, but when testing at the other end (having reconnected harness) of the plug, I was getting no readings at all (unhooked from RR), so its obviously a break in the harness that I didnt see and somehow missed when testing.

Taking harness out and rewiring everything tomorrow all day... again.

Anyone wanna trade me a vulcan 750cc or similiar motorcycle for this scooter?

It didnt seem to have made a difference.

I'm about to do what you suggested because without headlights attached both brake light and dash lights work.

With headlights attached now, the dash lights and running lights dim and only one headlight lamp will operate at a time.

I have to still have a short somewhere, but I'm wondering if just rewiring the headlights themselves might be the most time effective solution.

So, take the red and white wires out of the plug that goes to the RR and switch them, then test?

In or out of RR?

Or did you just mean to stick the plug into the RR like that, put the headlight connection on and see what happens?

gotcha, that would be :


BLUE YELLOW WHITE

*-----------*-----------*

Bike had no spark, took it to a mechanic who got me for 150.00 bucks I didnt have and changed out the stator and the RR, which got me spark and running, but I noticed that my headlights were dim unless brakes were applied, but I ran home like this since they wanted more to troubleshoot this problem.

I hadnt had this issue before, and on the way home the running taillight and headlights went all the way out and wouldnt change if brakes applied ( ASSUME I BLEW THE RUNNING LIGHT FILAMENT IN THE TAILLIGHT BU HAVENT CHECKED YET).

... So I stripped off the harness and checked my wiring then replaced connections that looked bad, plus I went ahead and added a ground to the headlights.

Issue remains and I have no tail light or headlights.

I have three RR's (one just bought two days ago at the scooter shop) - checked them all and all had same results:

RR attached (plugged in) and bike running testing for ac volts at plug connection =

1. white 24v

2. Yellow 12v

3. red 1v

plugged testing at connector and running (dc)=

1. white 10v

2. red 13v

3. yellow 10v

Unplugged and testing running =

nothing except 12v DC at red and 37V ac at white



Battery was just charged at auto parts store and has full 12v.

Can anything else be wrong other than a bad RR at this point?


********** I had a buddy with a similar bike who stopped by a minute ago and we swapped out headlight covers - his worked on mine with decent lighting BUT they still got brighter when brakes applied. ****************

I have to presume that I've blown both all my headlights out and taillight partially ( he didnt want me putting my headlights on his and I didnt press the point, so I dont know if they'd work on another bike, but doesnt seem likely).

Headlight wiring is blue, green, white, yellow.

I also noticed that when headlights (either) were pugged in the dash lights would go out only to come back on when headlights removed.

I did just thoroughly g over the instrument cluster wiring last night too - spent over 2 hours on it, but I couldve always screwed something up I suppose.

Dont know. The harness and various wirings are sitting on the floor of my living room atm, making a determination impossible.

Sometime tomorrow I'll get it running and test in bike again. I just got really pissy that I spent a week rewiring my harness a few months ago and then came down with some sort of ground issue.

I get frustrated sometimes. lol
