Super 8 / No electrical power on key turn but kickstarting works.
« on: April 23, 2023, 05:28:58 PM »
Hey! I ran into a bit of an issue with my Super 8 50 4T 2009. I was just finished with work, got on the motorcycle, turned the ignition key and I got nothing. No lights, no digital clock, no dashboard lighting, nothing. Starter and horn neither. Tried to kickstart the bike and that worked after a couple of tries but none of the electrical systems came on from that so I had to ride home at night with no lights at all. It was sketchy but its not a great distance luckily.

At home I checked the battery with a multimeter and it holds 12.5V fine. One of the 7A fuses was out so I changed that but still no results. Any idea what the issue here is? I assume the wiring is cut somewhere since the battery is fine and the lights didnt work even through the generator (which is clearly fine since it could give power to the spark plug to get me home). I was thinking the ignition switch was wrong but then I dont think the bike could start at all.

Also one more thing, the infamous LCM module is taken out of this bike and wired together since that used to cause me some issues with my lights. Dont know if that matters but I thought I'd let you know.

Appreciate any help!

No it's not burnt out. I haven't taken it apart to take a look at it because it's quite the hassle but...

As I have stated the low beams actually do work when I switch to high beam and let the bike idle. The LCM switches the lights to low beam automatically when the bike is idling. Meaning that the bulbs are fine.

Also this model has 2 of each type of headlights. Both of my low beams stopped working at the same time. Makes me assume it's an issue in the electrical system.

I'm probably taking apart the handlebar light switch tomorrow to take a look at it. (Haven't had the time yet in the past couple days)

Is the headlamp bulb a 2-filament type?

Yes it is.

Super 8 / Kymco super 8 dimmer headlights issue
« on: July 14, 2022, 05:25:20 PM »
Hi, new to this forum.

I got a Kymco super 8 50 4t 2009 about a year ago. I live in Europe so I assume it's a european model.
My issue is my dimmer (low-beam) headlights simply stopped working a while ago.

I did read about the LCM issues regarding this model but I'm not sure if that's the issue here. Every other light works (parking and reflector (high-beam)) but the dimmer does not.

One thing that's also weird is when the bike is on idle and I turn the reflector on, it automatically switches it down to dimmers (Im guessing that's the LCM working). So that means that the dimmer is getting power so I assume it's a light switch issue but I couldn't find anything wrong yet. Anyone had this before?

thanks for the help in advance!
