I was out riding my motor scooter (Riketa 250 54B) yesterday morning and got a boo-boo...well lots of them.
I was riding on a section of newly re-paved roadway when the trafic stopped and I didn't. Actually I did but not in the conventional manner. I skidded on the oily pavement snd laid the scooter on it's side at 60 mph. WOW, I can't tell you how hot fresh black roadway is on a sunny 90 degree day. Especally when it's peeling off your skin..LOL
Bottom line; watch out for new pavement it's much more slipery or you too could spend your day in the ER. I sprained my left wrist, broke my right wrist and broke my right leg. O'yeah, I also left a lot of skin on the roadway.
Sorry for any typos but it's hard to type with one finger on each hand sticking out of a cast.
So I guess I'll be off my ride for a while. Actually I can't even walk using the sticks because of the wrists. So my wife is stuck pushing me around the house in a wheelchair. Nope can't even do that myself......... But boy the drugs are working great.
Happy riding.......Bob

Watch out for new pavement it's a lot mose slipery then it looks. I was out riding my scooter this mornig and I came upon a section of newly re-paved roadway . Long story short.....trafic stopped and I couldn't so I laid the bike (Riketa 250 54B) on it's side and slid down the highway on all that nice new pavement. I guess new pavement is more slipery because of the new oil in it. Anyway, considering I was doing 60 MPH when it happened I guess I was lucky. Only got minor boo-boos; left wrist is sprained, right wrist is broken, rIght leg is broken, neck hurts and I have a host of skin missing all over my body. I have to go see my bone guy next week and see what he says about the damages. No idea what the bike looks like. I asked two great people that were in front and behind me and stopped to help me to move it out of the middle of the road for me. And of course me along with it. I saw the left side and it looked fine. But I fell on my right side. The poliece had it towed so my son-in-law is going to pick it up with a trailer tomorrow The worse of it is I have to use a wheelchair because of the wrist damage they won't let me just use the sticks so I can walk. No walkinng cast allowed on this one. Feeling pretty good right now ... GOT DRUGs!! LOL Hope to see all you guys back on the road again in about 6 or 8 weeks.  |

LOL, I'm not sure China has a wire color code. And if they do they sure don't worry about it when their making this scooters. My question is why do they hide everything under the skin? They hang fuses everywhere. How much would it take to put a small fuse block in under the seat? I agree it's a PITA to work on them. Bob

Does anyone have an idea where I can find a new diode. It is the part that has small cooling fins like a rectifier/regulator, with a black and red wire that connects to a red and yellow,and the component attaches to the right side of the frame under the seat . I have looked at many online places and to no avail. I couldn't even find it on the Jonway parts website. Take a look at my posting you may fine the info your looking for.

I spoke to the place where I located the regulator and they refered to it as a regulator/rectifier but they had no tech department and the girl had no idea what it was used for...onlt the name. And of course I was only going by thier pic that matched what I had in my hand. They told me they were of course out of stock for 3 weeks. And it does read continuity in both directions. As you know if your elect circuitry is working oonce the motor is started it will continue to run without the motor. But it can't/won't do this without the battery if this regulator/rectifier in unpluged.
Yeah, I agree I will need to remember to turn off the switch with the motor. Kind of like the old days. I am relocating the regulator/rectifier to under the seat where my CDI is already located. I was thinking about also moving my starter solenoid there because it has a fuse on it and it would be easier to get to that way. But that fuse doesn't normally blow. But I have blow while connecting the battery (OPPs. reversed wiring).

OK, the regulator is the only thing I can find back there or anywhere for that matter. Here's an actual pic of the part. As Ia said if I unplug it the lights go off. I can leave it unpluged and the scooter will start and the main headlights will work. But when I plug it in again the light get brighter. IS it possible it is use for a dual pupose?  |

I'm not having any luck finding this part (assuming I'm looking for the right part). So why can't I install a manual on/off switch inline to the relay? Do you think it can hurt anything?
BTW, I did a continuity test on it and it has continuity across the terminals which to me indicates a closed relay.

Yeah, I finally got back to looking for it this morning. I found it right where you told me it would be too. Great call!! I unpluged it and the lights went out. Of course I would expect them to though. At this point I would say it's still a guessing game as to weather it's the relay or in the ignition switch. But I'm putting my money on this relay. I looked at the one you linked to but the wire connector is different. I guess I could change the plug if I had to. But I think I'll try to fine one with the correct connector. It's got 2 rows with 2 spades per row. But only one row is active. I tried to upload a pic but I have no idea how to do it here. Thanks again, Bob i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp49/go4it2/P7260221R.jpg |

Great information. Can you give me a hint where they might have located this on the bike? I pulled off the windshild and cowlinging this morning and didn't see anything like what your indicating. I was playing ith my carb yesterday and may have disturbed (yanked) on a wire while working. So I wonder if I caused the problem. Bob

It's been quite a while since I used my bike (2009 Riketa 250 54B). But I finally got around to fixing it's problem (new carb) and was able to ride it on several short trips totally about 60 miles. Last night I turned off the engine in the garage and noticed the headlights were still on. I turned ignition switch on/off several times but the headlights and tail lights stay on. The only way I could turn Them off was to disconnect the battery. I checked all the other electrical components and they work normally. Nothing else is effected but the front and rear lights. No radio, no dash light and the started will not activate with the ignition switch in the off position. However, with the ignition switch in the off position the light stay on and the high/low beam switch also works. As I said this is a new problem that started yesterday.
I am assuming they is a relay somewhere that is stuck. However, I would also think that the ignition switch would cut all power to everything except the alarm and clock. Before I have the enjoyment of removing all the plastic in search of a shorted wire, bad ignition switch or bad relay does anyone have an electrical drawing? Or had this problem and can point me in the right direction?
Bob
