Title: Problem with electric system
Post by: ktienation on August 28, 2015, 01:18:59 PM

Guys,
Recently I am facing the following problem:

When the scoot is on idle, main beam are on and i.e. i turn on the traffic indicator and/or pull the stop handle, all the lights start do dim or even strobe (I know a little dim is normal but believe me, this is not normal).

I chacked the battery, when the engine is off it gives ~12,5 V, when on over 13,2 so i think its not the issue of the magneto.

Has anybody expected similar issues? For me it looks like there is a problem with grounding somewhere but maybe someone alredy has experience in this area?

Peter

Thanks Dee De, sounds like a good hint. Is this cable visible / easy to find or is it hidden somewhere?
