Got my scooter running right and rode to work last nite. Its a 2008 Jonway T-12. About 22 miles one way to work. At about the 15m point the headlights went really dim, but would brighten back up if I pulled the brake lever. Dove into the wiring this morning after work since the last four miles with the front brake lever partially pressed was rather unpleasant. I started by cleaning and tightening up grounds and battery connections. Then pull the front shroud off to find the regulator. The regulator is a four pin, whatever came on the scoot. The white wire showed no voltage DC, but 12.7 v AC at idle, then jumped to around 18.7v AC @4000 rpm. The red wire showed 12.4v DC at idle and jumped to 13.4v DC @4000 rpm. The green wire showed no voltage DC or AC. And the yellow wire gave me negative readings of around -4v DC. When I check voltage at the headlight connection I got -4v DC there as well. If I've read correctly, the output on the yellow wire should be a regulated 12v DC to power the lights correct?? So this means faulty regulator. Also can someone tell me what that other small black box with all the wires is? Security system? It does have one.
