I've inherited an Aerox 100cc, it's a 2000 model, it's had a hard life. Currently everything thing works on the bike apart from the headlights. I've spent some time looking into this and none the wiser, I had some panels off today and tested the lighting coils, they are in spec, testing them for AC output while it's running and it puts out plenty of power.
I can make the headlights function is by running a bodge wire directly from the headlamp earth to anywhere on the stator housing area, high and low beam work, they turn on and off and do as expected. Of course, a bodge wire isn't a repair  I suspect there is an AC earthing issue based on that result, but I can't for the life of me figure out where the earths are, the service manual isn't very helpful on that one.
The only other symptom the bike manifests is what feels like AC in the levers, if you rev it up, it tingles a little more!
Happy to take suggestions that don't include setting fire to in a disused quarry  |
