Ok I put it all back together, and started it up.

Then I disconnected the yellow and white wires from the stator, and connected them backwards to the harness, white to yellow/yellow to white. And the dashboard lit up. So new stator?

So the brake light issue is fixed, thanks to Bear's tip. (Handlebar switches) But I'm still stuck on the headlight... Ok, directly from the stator, I can run the headlights from white wire to ground, and it works. But Yellow wire to ground it doesnt. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but white goes to th...

Before you go replacing anything, test it. The stator coils are easily ohms tested and the specs are in the service manual. While testing, wiggle the wires and see if that shows something bad. These alternators are stupid simple. A stationary set of coils with magnets on the inside of the flywheel ...

Ok for the brake lights.

I was just tinkering with those switches, one of them doesnt like to return when you pull the brake, the other has a loose wire coming from it.

Thanks for the tip, I thought it had something to do with the tail light at first, like a series circuit.

The scooter should run with or without the battery, since the battery only starts the scooter and runs the tail, brake, instrument lights and turn signals.

Just a quick question...

Its always off, running or not, and the bulb is known good. And by out of adjustment, do you mean th...

Ok, headlights don't work, and the brakes are illuminated as if i'm braking, even when I'm not. :*:

What do?

Which model Elite starter do you have? If you know internally whats wrong - brushes or armature, it may be cheaper or easier. The SE50 and SA50 Elite's (87, 88-93) have a different mounting plate than the Spree, and a reversed rotation. The SB50 starter has a stamped mounting plate, and may have in...

Can I use an Elite 50 starter motor (11 teeth) on my Spree (10 teeth)?

The army themed one is sick!

Great doing business with jou!
