125-200cc wre 125 is being very naughty!!

ahh! Ok. I was riding my wre today, everything was fine asides from the sidelight bulb had blown so the two wires going to it were flapping around by the ignition barrel. The stator plate has not been charging the battery for weeks but engine seems fine regardless until today. The video will explain my problem!! link to video

your best bet would be to follow the wires youve more than likely got a nick in one of the wires, mines doing the same but ive found the culprit wire, my one is a damaged wire leading to the stator plate, does it kick over with out the electrics working ? and do they not work once kicked over

the electrics were all fine before the sidelight bulb went, I took off the two wires that connected to it and rode with them loose, then when I pushed the switch for the main light it was ok, the third time I pushed it the engine died. It will kick over still but the engine won't fire, no spark is coming out the plug so the lights don't work either way as the engine can't be started. You say you found a culprit wire leading to the stator, where is this? Does it run down from the wiring loom by the left radiator down the frame and end up near the powervalve then into the stator area?

ok I'm a dumbass, I just went out and looked, there is a wire coming out the bottom left near what I think is the stator plate, it's a gold wheel that spins with the engine, then I checked up by the fuse box, and looked at this little red thing, I pulled at it and suddenly the top comes off, hidden fuse! so I got a 10 amp [havent got a 15 like the one that was in there and broken] turned key and wolla, powervalve comes on [which it hasn't done for months even though it ran]. The plug suddenly sparked too now just to get a new mini blade fuse tommorow and hopefully it will run again. Though the lights didn't work with the 10 amp so I guess that's why it's 15. First pic shows the two fuses I changed over, the red thing in my hand holds the third fuse. Also the wre has the same engine as the sms 125 so this might help anyone who kills their fuses!
