i bought it other day has a few problems with it and it didnt come with any sort of manual and cant find anything online. its a peugeot vivacity 50 50cc.

It was running out of battery the other day so i had to kickstart it to get it to run. then after a while of running it like that, i could start it by the electric start. now, the electric start doesnt work at all. also, the other day when it elec start did work, the indicators came on without flashing, but now they dont come on at all. the indicator light comes on and stays on, on the dash board, and the other lights work, and the brake lights but there not that bright, but get brighter if u rev it. and the horn doesnt really sound good, the horn just 'dies' as you press it.

does anyone know what this could be? battery, fuse etc? how can i fix it? thanks for help.

You need a new battery. The electric start, indicators, brake light and horn work off that.



The head light, rear light and dash lights all work off the alternator. If you can start it by kick starting it and these lights work then the alternators fine which is good news. the lights go brighter when you rev it because the alternator is a generator, doesnt work off battery as i said before.



Change the battery and everything should be fine, just make sure you get it checked by a mechanic so you know theres no problem between the alternator and battery. If there is, the alternator wont be able to charge the battery and it will quickly go dead again in time.

in all possibility by way of a foul connection, many times to floor. frequently the alerts are fixed on the handlebars, and the floor present day has to bypass in the process the steerage hardware. user-friendly bearings do no longer supply a reliable electric touch, so many times there's a conductive slip-ring to end this. some manufacturers might use a twine. If the two of those fails to habit staggering, that could reason the indications you're seeing. The destructive connection is additionally the place the indicator panel connects to the bars, or everywhere in the circuit.
