That is really good. Maybe better than should
I don't think I put too much effort for this issue if this is good enough for me.
Of course when I get that another regulator I will give it a try because it is easy to test.

I think I got fixed this charging issue enough

Today postman bring me more led lights. I put them into gauges.
Now all of my lights are leds and HIDs.

And at the same time when front plastic was off I installed 12 volt socket into a glove box with a relay. And also Gammatronix kameleont led volt meter to tell me charging status while driving. Same kind of gammatronix led which I installed before in my last scooter Malaguti Madison S250.

That gammatronix led can show you either charge voltage or battery voltage. There is jumper which allows you to make a selection between. This time I installed rocker swicth into a glove box for those jumper pins. Mainly of course it is showing charging volt state.

When green = charging good volts. over 13.2V
When orange = not so good volts. 11.8 - 13.1V

I tested charging now with all lights on (hid + leds). When idling it was charging good and led was green. I throttled 5 minutes and radiator fan started. Voltmeter led went orange at the same moment. I stopped throttling and let it idle with fan + hid on and led was orange. But when I gave throttle and it went 3500 rpm led turned to green \o/ HOOORAY!!!

I think that would be enough.

On very hot days fan can start easier. And when driving in the city and stopping lot in traffic lights charger does not chager enough. That might be the only problen later. I will try to avoid that by buying new better battery. Current battery is 8Ah and I will buy 12 or 14 Ah battery. It will allow more traffic stops

Also I will put one extra ground wire from battery to frame. Thick good ground wire. Just in case. To avoid electic problems.

And today I also bought new coolant liquid and WaterWetter which cool your engine more and cooling fan is not needed so much. Tomorrow I will change my coolants. Water wetter seems to cool it amazingly better. That was new for me.

And if that is not enough, then I give it a try for that air scoop.
Sadly I already ordered another requlator rectifier and that 3 amp cooling fan. But it is good to have spare parts.

Thank you all for help

Hey guys. My friend is car mechanic and he told that you should never mix any red coolant with blue/green coolant.
My jonway coolant looks blue/green. So if I put new blue/green coolant there can I mix there even WaterWetter which is red?

Or should I use red coolant in my cfmoto jonway?

Okay. Maybe it is clutch then which is slipping. I will try to sand clutchpads and bell a little.
It is nice that cfmoto variator opens after 2 bolts

Do you mean that there is no need to change coolant fluids?
This scooter is 3 years old and I don't know is there factory coolants or not.
Maybe they then are good if you say so

Damin what your temp gauge says when your fan starts?

Hi,
does your variator belt slip when the weather is really hot like +88'F.

Last week here in Finland was that hot. The whole week. It was exhausting. So I went to ride with my Jonway every day to cool me off.

But it felt like variator belt was slipping really much. I tested two different variator belt and both of them felt like slipping. Another one was brand new but some cheap chinese brand which slipped really much. And another was used Gates powerlink which was much more rubbery and it hold better but slipped a litte bit too.

My belt size is 918 - 22.5 - 30

Is that normal in hot weather? Does your belt slip at all in hot weather?

Today was only +59'F when I ride to work only 4 miles. It didn't feel slipping at that point. But when it was hotter it started to slip right after 0.5 miles.
