Ok here is the way to test it and a picture of location for you.

You can do a quick test to see if the diode is bad, just unhook it, plug you're volt meter on the battery, start the scooter and then jump across it where you unplugged it. If the voltage comes up to when you rev it a bit to 14+ volts then you know it's bad.

WELL after finally getting diff regulator. Same thing Never getting over 13 volt actually would drop below 13 volts at 5000 rpm. Stripped it all the way to the frame went over every connection still All connections good no broken wires. Then I remember on Somebody's thread about cutting out at 45+ that JR had mentioned the Diode. So I am thinking what the heck might as well check it out. So did what JR said about how to check it unhook the diode start scooter 13 volts constant weather at idol or 5000 rpm again actually drops below 13 at 5000 so then I put a jumper across where I took out the Diode and Walla what do you know the voltage JUMPED up to about 14.2 volts. :-) That is all I needed to see. I am now going to go order a dang Diode I think that has been my charging problem all along.

I am sure glad I try and read all the post even if it is not something that is always a problem I am having as it sometimes can lead into the problem you are having. Did that make sense. Not sure it did to me.... LOL

Anyway the strip to the frame was not just to check the wiring I installed the HIDs today and LEDs. Which is going to be a whole other thread when I am done took pictures along the way. And Had a small issue with LED for front turn signals. I will put that in the new thread also.

First congrats on getting a new scoot.

This might actually be a sign on saving you money. After uncrating your new scoot did you do a good PDI?
There's a really good PDI right here: SCOOTER DOC OFFICIAL GY6 PDI[/b]

I would start by checking your kill switch. Then check all of your wireing to make sure you dont have any loose connections. If you did not do a good PDI I would start by changing all your fluids also before you start it up. You will save yourself tons of future problems.

Wow that Sucks. Hope it is an easy fix that does not cost a fortune and take weeks to get parts for.

And when you changed out your Signals with LED what Relay did you use?

Thanks,
Todd

In Wisconsin All everything under 50cc get registered as Moped over 50cc gets registered at Motorcycle. They have a whole list of regulations on them. One of the biggest money makers is tickets around the College for people riding 2 up on a Moped/scooter.
