Brilliant this isnt it, the other day i was on my bike when my dash and all electrics died, luckily with my handy tool kit you get with this bike i noticed it was a fuse, but the case holding the fuse had a hole burnt through it and i noticed that the (red) wire fuse was dangerously close to the negative terminal, which i can only imagine its arked and burnt a hole through the casing, so I changed the fuse and its been fine for 2 -3 days.
Got it out before ready to go out and all my dash was dead again (fuse) and there was no more fuses in my battery compartment, so like a dickhead i just put the two metal wires together and NEARLY set off to get a 10A fuse. Looked up and there was smoke pouring out the front of my ped, so i turned the engine off and it carried on, took off the battery casing and there was the red wire melting in front of me, after taking off the terminals from the battery id realised now (because me scooters in pieces) that the red wire has melted all through the wiring loom.
Turns out (I recon) we traced the fuse to a 'regulator rectifier'? which had black gung pouring out of it, so ive orderd a new one of them, hopefully doing this and replacing the wire will get it running again!
