Grandvista 250 / GV250 charging light
« on: February 18, 2024, 10:04:56 PM »
Here's a puzzler: While riding on a smooth road yesterday at a constant 25mph the red charging light came on, then went off after a few seconds and did not come on again. After I got home and parked I restarted the bike and the light did its normal on and off after a couple of seconds of running. The motor was running perfectly when this occurred.
This has never happened before and I'm completely befuddled as to possible causes.
The bike is a 2009 with 12K miles on it and has given flawless service other than needing a starter relay at 9K miles. I just checked the battery after sitting for 24 hours: 12.76 volts. I then started it and the light went off seconds later as it normally does.
I welcome all ideas on what could have caused this (so far) one time event, and suggestions on what to check or replace. I'd rather replace all suspected parts now, or at least order them now to have them ready, and not have my only scooter disabled while I wait for the correct part to get here. There's always room in my spares box for more GV250 parts.
