First off I want to say.... I love the new Forum!  Now, guys, I have a tank sports urban touring 250 DE and I need a little diode that blocks the lights from coming on without the engine running, Basically, when I hook a battery up to the scoot, the lights on the whole bike come on. It is 1 out of the 2 teeny tiny diodes. I can't find them anywhere, Hoping one of you guys had an answer for me, Even If I can rig it up somehow, But I definitely need to fix this issue Thanks! |

Hi 99 I'm sure folks here want to try to help you but can you be a little clearer about the problem? I am not familiar with any diode (a device which allows current flow in only one direction) that is involved with the lighting circuit. If your scoot is "DC fired" the lights will come on with the key. Since it's is the law in the U.S. that we run our lights at all times on a 2 wheeler they are wired that way.
A/C fired scoots lighting comes on once the engine is started. The electricity to power the lights on them is created BY the engine running. I thought A/C systems were limited to mostly the 50cc scoots. I could certainly be wrong about that though. My 1st. scoot (a 50cc) was A/C but both of my current ones are D/C.
Your post indicates that all the lights come on as soon as you connect a battery, even with the key off. Is that the case?
Let us know and we will help you figure this out.
