check you wires at battery mine has one large at plus and minus the a thin other to each one one of my thin ones can of and did that.

checked the battery wires as well as talked to the guy who gave it to me he said the headlights worked when he parked it but it sat for 3 to 4 years also?

voltage regulator checks as bad so I think that is the problem,will order a new one and see.

well so far I have replaced the cdi box,ignition coil,ignition switch and all the locks,a new drive belt as well as cleaned and lubed the front clutch put on a new carb and it runs good,now waiting on a new voltage regulator then I can move on to the back tire reassemble it and ride!

OK now found the problem rocker high/low switch is bad but I got one side to work but will order a new switch.

Good for you. Bet you are getting anxious to ride it. Mine was delivered on Mar 16, 2012, first time started was Apr 9, 2012, and the first time ridden was Apr 12,2012.
Too damn cold to ride here in March anyway, but I spent that time giving it a good going over, every bolt/nut got a drop of blue locktite, every electrical connector got some dielectric grease, re-routed and insulated some wires to avoid rubbing, removed the pair system and all of its unnecessary plumbing, shortened other hoses and lines to a proper length, and of course, installed some quality fluids in the proper holes. The time I spent doing this was well worth it....for my scoot has been 100% dependable (13,000 miles so far).

I guess I'm saying, I know it is hard to have something that needs to have corrections made, before that first ride. But you'll get there.....and the waiting plus the work you've done.....will make that 1st ride, even sweeter.

as soon as I get the front plastic buttoned up I will have to go for a test run

My headlight relay burned out, resulting in no headlight.  I just jumper from 12v dc to headlight wire connection in the socket where the relay plugs in.  Is working that way.
