Posted December 28, 201113 yr I have just bought my first bike a Yamaha Aerox 100 I had purchased it for £200 as the bike has no mot or tax and has been stored in a shed for over a year. The bikes electric starter, indicators, brake light and everything else I can thing of do not operate apart from the headlight and this only operates when the bike is on (kick started) and it gets brighter as I rev it. the bike was stored without this problem and it has developed the problem while in storage. Any ideas? I have pretty much worked overnight to see what the issue is but to no avail. Thankyou very much!
December 28, 201113 yr Moderator if its been stored its a good bet the battery is knackered! Have you checked the voltage ?
December 28, 201113 yr Deffo sounds like battery. Headlight runs off alternator so that's why you're seeing that behaviour.
December 29, 201113 yr Author Cheers guys Im gonna borrow a battery I know to be working from my friends bike today, will let you know if it fixes it!
January 4, 201213 yr Author Sorry for the delay on the cause of the problem! but it is fixed! it wasn't the battery it was a horrible earth contact that needed cleaning up! Aerox is ready for the necessary evil MOT now! Cheers guys for your suggestions
January 5, 201213 yr Author yeah the battery was fine! charged it with a trickle charger and its held itself for a few days now without a problem, will invest in a new battery soon though as I honestly have no idea how the oem battery is still going, clearly Japanese magic is present in the yami factory!
