I took the SYM's rear wheel off and dropped it and a new Metzeler tire off at a place called Dirt Bike Supply. Then we went to Nino's Italian Food and had the best Pizza on the planet. It's true, it's better than any pizza any of you can get.  Then we went back to the bike shop and gave the guy $35.00 and the tire was mounted, balanced and he even got the stem dot correct. No hassles, no swearing, no tirades. I'm sorry but for $35.00 I'll have somebody do it for me, JMO.

Yeah, I know Alley, I was just lazy and posted a pic to show a half assed installation to illustrate different options. I'm bad about wanting an add on and just bolting the mother to any piece of iron I can find and then running the wires where they need to go. But I gotta say the voltmeter and tach went through many rain storms, snow, ice, wind, dirt, and general nasty stuff.....and still kept going. But do it right kids, mount it in the dash or in a housing on the handlebars.

Looking at some wiring diagrams for the Riva it appears you have a separate regulator from the rectifier. Also, I wouldn't try to tap into the kill switch, I think you'd be asking for trouble. I'd go right off of the battery, the wiring is already fused, I'd go 5 amps. If you're worried about draw put a volt meter in the circuit with a switch. You don't want to leave a volt meter run when the bike is off, they drain the battery. If you're worried about leaving the switch on you'll have to run off of the key switch wire that gets hot with the key on. Personally, I'd tap right onto the battery.

At this point we need your wiring config. Do you have a yellow and white wire coming off of your stator? Do you have a wiring diagram in your manual? As suggested by the guys, you may have roasted your R/R and blown a diode. That would explain the charging loss. The relay theory would explain the headlight on all of the time but that would be unusual on such a small engine and especially a Jonway. So some pix of the stator and R/R wires would help.

I got my Motorino from John Dikov at Valley Scooters. He has a tile at the top of the site. It was a great bike, I'm kinda sorry I sold it:

Agree Jerry, since CF Moto has flamed out I'd say Znen is where it's at. I had a Motorino for a while and it was a tight bike. Motorino is Znen....same animal.

If your lights work only when the engine is running they are AC and I doubt you want your accessory running off of the center tapped AC yellow wire. Do what Alley says with the circuit tapped right off of the DC black ignition wire or tap right off of the battery with a switch and fuse of it's own. If you need help just ask here or PM me. Rich

If there are no other lights affected it's probably the ground for the dash lights. The supply wire to the dash also energizes other lights so they would be out as well. You'll have to pull some plastic and check the ground for the dash lights.

At idle 12.3. At 4-5000 12.68.
Those charging voltages are anemic. You need 13+v DC to keep up with charging and lights etc. The bike probably shut off because the CDI was no longer getting adequate voltage. DM is correct, check your wires. Check your stator for AC voltage on each two yellows unplugged like this:
 It should be 40 at idle and 70 at speed (approx.). The battery is a consideration, it may have a bad cell, that would be reflected in your charging voltage. Is the stator you swapped OEM or equivalent? I'm wondering if you roasted the R/R. The CDI is not involved in the charging process. That's all stator and R/R. |

Does the sensor need to be right in the exhaust gas flow?

Maybe mine is a little faster because of added pollution devices on the '15 or that one wasn't broken in. But mine doesn't feel hesitant getting up to highway speeds. It will pull away from traffic at a light and then cruise at 80 as long as you want. It is nimble yet solid in handling. It is a little tippy at slow speeds but it's a trade off for high speed stability. I would like more options for aftermarket accessories and it's hard to get parts for unless you run to a dealer. But that's nitpicky, the thing starts, runs, does everything I ask, and never complains. It is more than a scooter, it is a beautiful machine. The guy talked about not hearing the motor. Yep, you get the RPM's set in just right with a snowmobile helmet, and all you hear is air drifting by. Smooth, serene, fast, it's a Citycom and it eats SUVs for dinner. I love it. Rich

Everything the guys said is true. Did you put a multimeter on the battery terminals when the bike was running to see what the charge circuit is doing?
