Lifan Scooter Voltage

Thanks. But...

I've just got hold of a voltmeter and have checked the charging system (disconnected battery, started bike, connected voltmeter to - and + battery cables) - and it's putting out @6.5v to battery. So, unless the charging system can go wrong and half voltage supply (possible?), it's a 6v system.

It's a Lifan Ares 110.

Bulbs are 12v. Original battery is a Yusan CB6.5L-A. Looks like it is a problem with the charging system - just was thinking it's a 6v system and wrong battery because it's putting out what a 6v battery would need. Also, at the Chiang Mai Lifan dealer yesterday, the girls 'seemed' to say it was a 7v battery (=6v - guess they're misinterpreting a voltmeter reading). Bit confusing when you can't talk Thai and your wife can't talk batteries...

Rectifier, voltage regulator?

Can't find anything with more than 6.5v running - maybe the stator is dodgy or it's got a 6v one fitted(?!!). Will take it to the shop it was bought from as something needs replacing/fixing.

Hang on - doh! Not thinking about ac check... Looks like it's the rr.
