help with cg

[rvf-stef]

Please help me.

I turn the key on my cg and the lights dont come on (neutral lights, indicator,horn doesnt work,headlights) and u cant start it. (its kick start) after about 20 seconds the lights come on and everything is normal.
turn the key off and on again same problem. It doesnt always do it and somes times the time the lights come on is about 2 seconds. any idea of the problem?

Possibly a dodgy battery connection mate... CG batteries are not fantastic to start with and if one of the connections is dirty/loose it could cause the problem you have ?

Or a dirty/loose ignition connector ? if one of these is loose or dirty it could cause the same thing... most likely a loose connection somewhere just check your battery terminals and see what condition they are in



cant think of much else on a CG that could cause this kind of problem as there is not much to go wrong on it really

Could it be some sort of relay I wonder.

It's most likely a loose connection or similar. Hit it. That fixed the intermittent problem on the one I use now and again, though taking the battery out to charge it fixed it properly as the terminals got tightened properly.

Don't know if they would have a relay between the ignition switch and the ignition circuit on a CG125. I certainly doubt it on a slightly older one. More modern ones might have some safety interlocks but again, not so sure there would be a relay.

The state of charge of the battery should also make little difference to a kick start CG.

My vote goes for a bad connection in the ignition switch. Get with the WD40.
