Hi,
How do I find this wire? Are there specific tests I can do?

Hi,
Pressing the plunger in does not always switch on the brake light. I need to play around with the plunger for the brake light to switch on. How can I run tests to know what exactly is wrong with the bike?

Hi there, Referring to my previous posts, I found the problem to be a loose connection on the right brake. The brake lights do not switch on by just holding down the brake; I first need to position it at a certain angle. Consequently, I have first play around with the right brake for me to start the engine. Any ideas how I could do some tests (probably with my multimeter) to find where exactly the problem is along the connection from the brake? I would really appreciate your help  |

Hi there, To start my 125cc Chinese scooter, I first need to hold down the right brake. While trying to do this, I almost always have to first play around with the right brake to position it in a way which will start the scooter i.e the scooter does not start by just holding down the brake. I confirmed that the issue is with the right brake since the brake light will only turn on when I hold down the brake at a certain angle (not just normally holding down the brake). Any ideas of how I can do tests (probably with my multimeter) to find where the problem is? I plan to open up the front part of the scooter this weekend. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks |

Get your multi meter out, set it to measure 12 volts DC. With ign on You need 12 volts on one side of each brake switch. This is where the voltage to operate the start solenoid comes from. I'll try that, thanks! Is there any way I could check if the electric start switch is working fine? |

Not good. It is not hard to trouble shoot. If it is your brake switch causing the problem scooter is not safe to be riding in traffic. There are simple diagrams here in our library. What you have is more than likely either bad switch or a connector. Thanks for your comment. It's not good in terms of what; safety or damaging the electrical components of the bike? Secondly, what connector do you mean? |

Hi there,
My 125cc Chinese scooter doesn't start with the electric start button. However, when I short the two starter solenoid poles together, the scooter starts fine. I replaced the solenoid itself, but the problem persists. So I assume there is something wrong with either the electric start switch or brake sensors.
I do not have the time to diagnose and work on it at the moment. So I plan to connect a simple button to the solenoid, which will short the two poles when pressed. Is this safe? I will probably use the solenoid bypass button to start the bike for at least 6 months. Will doing this frequently damage anything in the bike?
Secondly, I would appreciate if someone could give me ideas on how I could connect the button efficiently, and also the type of button to be used.
Any advice would be highly appreciate.
Thanks a bunch!
