Time for annual state inspection and the kill switch suddenly quit working on my wife's Buddy 125. Removed the handle bar fairing to access the control quadrant screws. Opened it up and it looked clean an corrosion free on the inside. Great! I have to check ground wires now.
-Removed the front hood to check ground wires. I live near the salt water, so even a garaged scooter develops a lot of corrosion.
-I noticed a blue wire, separate from the other wire bundles that ran from the right control quadrant to an unknown metallic box under the hood. Then I notice a lot of rust on the bolt connecting that unknown box to the frame. I removed the box and sanded the areas where the unknown metallic box and frame touch each other.
-After reassembly, the kill switch was working again. I hope it keeps working because we ride in areas packed with cars and pedestrians. Cheers
