I read up on this
www.scooterdoc.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=electrical&action=display&thread=1498

headlights and tail/running lights

BUT am getting power ... the little switch on the front of the left handlebar just in front of the bright/dim button is. if i press that the lights work fine??

what is that button for anyway? an emergency light switch? as apparently it by passed the main light route.


i found only 2 fuses one to the radio and one a blue 15 amp not sure what it goes to.

Check the connectors at the voltage regulator (manostat?)for tightness.
I think the button your tallking about is a "flash to pass" button. To be used for a quick flash from low to high beam.
Good luck!

Hi....fellow scooter guys and gals.....I have a Roketa MC54B-250....2008....I have almost the same prob...no Hi beam but I have Low beam......also I can use the dim your lights switch and get to work with HI beams.....at 2 AM helps.....have taken the switch apart on the handlebars and cleaned the contacts for HI beam with a knife and still no HI beam....I can use a knife blade and short across the terminals and the HI beam works....but still now HI...orderd the complete LH switch assembly from Roketa....$40.00 plus $15.00 shippping..received the assembly but have not replaced it yet...still going to work on the dim your lights switch...not ready to strip the scoot to replace the switch assembly....enjoy the ride...

right on the money winchester

found a white plastic conn that had partly melted and one of the yellow wires had lost conn, right above the RR. same thing happened with the white conn from the stator wires a while back, recon they are not heat tolerable.

cut out the conn and used a better quality one, works great

will soon replace all my amber/red lights with led.
