Hi, Recently i purchased a clear lense and red bulb from the internet, to replace the cracked one on the back of my scooter. The brake light. Recently my scooter also started underreving for no reason, but it turns out that the spark plug cap eroded. So i purchased a new spark plug cap about a week after fitting the new rear light set. Ever since my indicators keep getting stuck whenever i pull in a brake lever. (I start indicating, and then i brake for the turn. The indicators, the second i use the brake lever, just stay on and don't flash. They turn off fine and when i let go of the brake lever they start flashing.) It is not the indicator relays, it has nothing to do with the new spark plug cap and nothing is short circuiting. Any ideas what the problem could be? My garage told me that everything "seems" to be fine.
The light bulb you replaced has an incorrect rating and uses too much amps (or not enough). Especially on scooters the electric system is usually rated 'just enough'.. even putting in a brighter lightbulb in the headlight can screw up things. Indicator relays usually also need a specific load (if one of the light bulbs goes out, usually the remaining one doesn't 'blink' anymore as 1 bulb isn't enough load and the relay needs the load of the 2 bulbs to activate). so the new lightbulb you installed can be the cause of your weird problems I'd check its specifications..
Looks like some problem in your wiring. If you have any motorcycle electrician in your area, he can fix it for you.
Unfortunatly, in dont anyone who can repair electrics on motorbikes. 50cc 2stroke engines suck big time... ROb
look at the bulb on the other side and get one that matches it. are you sure you didnt put in a brake light bulb in?
Sammie, i didn't touch the indicators, i literally took the lense off, changed the bulb, and then put on the new lense. The old lense = Red lense, White Bulb The new lense = White lense, Red Bulb (looks better) Rob
