Hello, im new here!
Other renewable downtown 125 2010. Cool scooter and I'm very satisfied with it. The only problem is that when I turn on the lights of the scooter voltage falls, that is probably charging too low. Additionally turns on red battery light on the scale. New battery bought only two months ago. Without lights voltage was approximately 13.5 + - With lights the voltage drops to 12. Are the coils are too low and I need to replace them? I note scooter only has 26000 kilometer. I'd be happy if someone would help me find a book scooter service. Thanks, Elad.

  check your headlight you may have a 65 watt bulb in there , if it is the same as 300i DT. it should be a 35 watt light H8, and I have LED lights all around turn and running lights, while your at looking check and see if that happens, with the light removed, you may have a drain in your light system,.   don the old man

Maybe an issue, but most likely not. The charging circuit puts out 35 watts RMS, and 50 PEAK. All kymcos are prone to voltage drop at idle, and none of them can even power the blinker circuit below 4k rpm without a battery to take up the slack.
The best option (if all else is as it should be) is do what DeeDee said. Change everything for LED replacements. It will draw less, and allow the headlamp to use what you freed up.
It's just the nature of the beast.
