so i was ridin the other day and i noticed my speedo doesnt werk nemore or my mileage meter or my head light.. main problem is my head light, i checked the bulb it looks fine, then i checked the connections/wires, that was fine, then i got out the volt meter, and jus the brown wire on the female connecter gets power.. i also checked for power at the bulb and got no power.. switch maybe?

that would be the next place to check if you get power to the switch and if you get power out of the switch if you get power out then check to see if you have a good ground for the lights and you will need to check this with the motor running as the headlights work of AC power

unplug stator plug and see if coils are good with ohm meter.
yellow to engine ground .7 ohms white to engine ground .8 ohms
if the yellow is open that is the problem.

The colors of the wires on a normal GY6 scooter should be:
Brown fed with 12V AC when the engine is running and the switch on the right side is the center position. I think that the brown cable in your picture is for dashboard and rear lights.
White is fed with 12V AC when low beam is on.
Blue is fed with +12 V when high beam is on.
Green is ground.

Did you check your fuses? Is the battery good? What's the stator output voltage?
