Well, to wrap up, it was the battery.
After a full charge it runs like a champ. Got it started on Saturday, took it on a rally ride, 3 hours. It did rough start after the ride so I still need to check the load. It is an old battery so its probably time.
It might have been more fitting if I ordered crow instead of cherry pie, on the Twin Peaks ride, after swearing the problem must have been something other than the battery. But it was Damn Fine Coffee and cherry pie ala mode to celebrate another runner. Only three other dead scoots and a Guzzi to go, then my army will be complete.

I'd agree if I had a dim headlamp but no power there the horn the starter. Is there a relay that could go? Please any any suggestions IN ADDITION TO THE BATTERY.
I always am positive it couldn't be the battery an it usually is. Should I just swap another battery in? Its only 90 bucks for a new one.
I checked the kill switch twice. Wish it was the culprit.

What is faster than a Jiffy? 
...Big bore, 6-speed manual chain drive, modified skinny tires, etc. can get you from 0-90 mph in a jiffy... and even faster with a 120 lb. rider...

I read a story years ago where an MC journalist borrowed a People 250 and ran it for 24 hours straight. He got a series of riders to take it on the same 1 hr riding route. Only a couple of small minor problems but the scoot performed like a champ. That's one of the reasons I bought the scoot was because of that review.

I just did this the other night.
Disconnect the battery.
Then disconnect the lamp by pulling the lamp housing out 1st, the uncoupling the disconnect. Then I pulled the plastic tub out from the under seat but still had the charger plug connectedso the tub was only partially up. I got access to the disconnect for the charger plug at the rear of the space. Easy Peasy from there on.

You can also pull the under seat lamp out and uncouple the quick disconnect for the lamp. Pretty easy and worth doing first if you are going to pull the under seat tub out to say get at the fuses.

My 250 people is in No Start Um mode. HELP!
Went to start it a couple of weeks ago and it went "click, pop." Tried it again and then the headlamp went dark. I thought it was the battery, put that on the charger, It shows 12v, MET light works interior lamp works, but no HL or start. Found and checked all the fuses and not one burnt or damaged.
Where or what else can I check? I got a ride tomorrow morning and no clue where to look next.
