Electrical problem
« on: August 09, 2015, 09:47:20 PM »
The other day, after driving for about 30 miles, I stopped my scooter for a few minutes. When I pressed the button to start it again, it seemed to lose power completely (no power to any lights, dials). Then a few minutes later, mysteriously, the power came back and it started fine.

I have noticed that once in a while the starter motor will sound like it's struggling at first.

Any ideas?

I vote bad battery connection.

Thanks, that may be right. One of the battery screws was just a touch loose.
