hello everyone. I own a Jonway yy250t. I currently changed my headlights they are 50 watts. I didn't notice any difference with the lights but yesterday when I came home I noticed that my rear lights were not blinking right. when the engine is off the signals work fine but when I crank up the scooter and turn on the signals and ad the break they blink awkwardly. also when I turn on the hazard lights only 1 light blinks in the back but when I hit the brakes both of them work. does anyone know what my problem might be. All of my front turning signals are fine. Can it be my rectifier or my stator. Or can it b3 that the headlights that I bought has to many watts causing things to short out. Thanks in advance

No stator problem because if it's charging and lights are bright then the stator is fine along with the R/R. Since you took it apart and changed bulbs this sounds like the classic "you have a bad connection in the wiring." This is very easy to do when pulling the front off and then putting it back together. More than likely you have a very bad ground connection in the blinker/flasher circuit, reason I say this is the "it works fine if I push the brakes." thing.
Now these Chinese plugs are famous for one wire or pin getting pushed partly out when plugging and unplugging them. It could also be in the plugs of the left switch assembly because the turn signal switch is on the same assembly along with the horn.
Question, some Jonways have a headlight on/off switch some don't, does this one have one? This tells me more on which model you have because there are four different versions with different wiring diagrams including the European version.
You've got a loose/bad wire connection gremlin and start with going through the grounds.

see this is why its great to have JR back.
he is THE electrical genius .
he'll teach you how to use a multimeter on line,
teach you how to set it up,
teach you how to use the Fing thing,
and stick with you{ well might take awhile now, seeing that he is building this forum and running his} till the electrical prob is fixed
i should know---he talked me threw the whole kit and kabbodle a couple years ago
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I think he meant the blinker on off switch I agree with his assessment sounds like a bad ground.

either a bad ground
or like JR said
one of the wires on the pins on the quick connectors
isnt pushed in all the way.
electrical gremlins are the worse
for us amateurs

No I did mean a headlight switch. There are 4 different wiring versions of this Reflex copy and one does have a on/off headlight switch. Now that I know he does not have one I know which version it is. Myself and two other people have spent countless hours going through the wiring system on this scooter and have took the poor generic diagram they send with this scooter and have redrawn them to fit each scooter. One version has a on/off headlight switch, one version doesn't have the blocking diode, each one of the 4 has a few things different.
Later on when we start putting diagrams on this forum you'll see them all, in the mean time if you need one you can check at Professor. Not pushing another forum, lets make that clear but it is a fact they are there and I will be putting them here too, got lost of things to put in.
Back to the OP problem and my first check is still the same, it's a bad connection and got to be opened up and checked, it's the first process of elimination on an electrical gremlin. I'm not one to tell people to start replacing this or that until they check the things that cost nothing and make sure it's not a simple loose wire instead.
Many a person has a bag full of "I didn't need to buy this" stuff when all it was to begin with was a bad, loose or corroded wire.

Awesome. I have found it is almost always simple but not always easy to get these things fixed
