HOW TO TEST YOUR CHARGING CIRCUIT ON A 50CC MOTORCYCLE

Step 1 Tutor Test Loads

1) Connect the sockets to the multimeter. Just put the black wire (ground) on the COM terminal of your multimeter and the red wire (more) on the Volts terminal.

Step 2 Tutorial Load 50cc

2) Disassemble the saddle (or the reservoir depending on the location of the battery).

step 3 charging circuit connection

3) Put the multimeter on 20 volts in direct current, take the voltage of your battery (about 12.5 Volts).

step 4 tests charging circuit

4) Start the motorcycle. The voltage across the battery should rise to around 13 Volts at idle.

step 5 test charging circuit

5) The voltage across the battery should not exceed 14.5 Volts when accelerating. If the voltage increases to more than 15 volts, the headlight bulbs may burn out, the regulator is HS!

6) Some regulators make central flashing, check that your indicators are working. If the turn signals do not work and the bulb is good and the turn signal well connected, the flashing unit is surely HS!

step 7 test charging circuit

7) Remove the left side cover of your two wheels.

step 8 test load 50cc

8) On some models, the regulator is located under the tank (or on the right side of the motorcycle).

step 9 test 50cc charging circuit

9) Dismantle the regulator / flashing unit.

step 10 test charging circuit

11) Replace the regulator. Test the turn signals and charge your battery.

end test charging circuit 50cc

11) If everything works you can go back up.

The principle for testing the charging circuit of two wheels is the same for all models. Equip yourself a multimeter quality to obtain better results. You will thus be able to know if your charging circuit is functional or if there are electrical parts to change on your 50cc gearbox or your scooter.
