Hi, I've just taken the front fairing off of my bike, Superbyke Powermax 50 4 stroke(just looking around) and bolted just next to the rectifier is a silver bracket with what looks like 30W39n stamped on it. When I took it off there is a spring that has been riveted to one end of the bracket, a ceramic disc around the spring(like you get on the end of a halogen linear bulb and heat resistant wire with a torpedo crimp on the end which then attaches to a green/white wire which goes into wiring loom and who knows where after that. Where the torpedo connections are it is quite dark as it looks like it has blown. it is 65mm long and 15mm wide. Any ideas what it is.
I'll try and take a pic and post but just got to go out now and take my son swimming.
Thanks

Is there a problem with the scooter? If it is running right don't fix it. Do take your picture though.

No problem that I am aware of but if there is something that wasn't working when I bought it (bike is 4yr old and I've had it 6mths)then I wouldn't be aware if something wasn't quite right. I'm sure it is there for a reason so don't see a valid reason not to fix it. I'll post pic then any help would be gladly received.

Ive tried to upload couple of pics but the pics I've taken are 3mb each and it won't allow me to upload a pic bigger than 1mb. What is the workaround please.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies. Just before I came back to the Forum I was trawling through Ebay bike parts and saw one so ordered it. What does it do and what on my bike might not be working properly as a result of this. Cheers

It is the ballast resistor for your AC lighting on your scoot. When that resistor fails completely it may burn out light bulbs from to much voltage.
