have you got somewhere to strip it down (garage ??)and do you want to completely strip it for respray if so the easiest place to start would be horn cast/ headstock,speedo, remove forks so you can take front bumper off,remove all indicators and side panel rubbers,seat, may not need to remove fuel tank, glove box,that should keep you going for at least an afternoon ,keep all parts safely somewhere you may want to remove engine which after removing cables and wiring is just a bolt and damper good luck and keep everyone posted and maybe pictures davy

Blackpool's fecking expensive for a family of four :)while getting the ignition switch i also got a light switch without the wires thinking i'll just attach the wires with terminals instead of solder so un-soldered the old one went to put the new one on and it has no off position on lights and the horn button is N/C ?? so the way my horns wired its on all the time so as i didn't want to start the rewire just yet (and i have no cable )had to re solder the old one back on :)also turned the tick over up quite a bit and waited and after a while the fault occured(lights dimmed)so checked the volts from stator and ok 31v,starting to think its may not be wiring the amount of times i've looked at it so might put all the new bits of kit back on cos i can and give it another run out tomorrow as i have feck all better to do with my time

ok loosing the will to live now switch didnt make a sh*t of difference though i suspected as much ? so gonna start re checking all connections as cant get any cable to start rewiring it till next week and i'll probably leave it till after the hols to start,thanks for the help so far it will be something basic and obvious that i've completely over looked i bet

lights work fine at tick over and when revved its only on load i lose /or nearly lose everything there all there just very very dimm. i took the old ignition switch off and changed it and the red wire was barely attached maybe by 6 threads even though it seemed ok when tested ?will try it out tomorrow with new switch,but still may rewire any way ?? as you say future proof it

Seconds thoughts it might not be such a good idea there's alot of cables doubled up under there ??

That's my plan but will give the ignition switch a go first as it should arrive today .was also thinking of taking cables straight to switches and headstock instead of having plugs under horn cast what do you think ??

I also think i may have missed something or am over complicating it and its something obvious so after my hols I'm going to rewire it all then i know for sure its not the wiring ? I've re checked its all correct ? ? unless my diagram is wrong ?

i posted a reply on here yesterday where's it gone ?? dont want to repeat myself if only i cant see it ? ok its a vespa px 125 2000,done all the checks suggested but still nowt even done an insulation test on alot of stuff , my next attempt is a new ignition switch hoping its just breaking down and not getting the 12v back to regulator which it needs to work properly henri if i tried taking it for a run and searching for hot spots all my lights would have come back on by the time i started looking its freaky i even tried removing the battery incase the plates were breaking down and touching but it still happened davy

Hi all just a quick one had a problem for a few weeks now my lights dimm about a mile into a run seems to be under load but they return when i park up and leave it ticking over ,i'm in the process or sorting out what i need to rewire it but have checked all earths and nearly all wires individualy and re taped them? even changed stator/regulator/flywheel/ cdi unit all with no results (so now have a couple of hundred quids worth of spares )wondered if any one had any idea as been looking at it for a while and starting to over think it with no results so any pointers would be good cheers davy
