    Suzuki FA50 electrical problem?

    I recently purchased an 88 FA50 for a VERY reasonable $50 XD, the bike seems to run well and everything works kinda, (is even legal)
    I am however having a bit of trouble with the electrics, sometimes all the lights will be very dim even at full throttle, sometimes they will be very bright and sometimes when you're riding they will decide they dont want to work at all...any ideas on what it might be? all the lights seem to either all go or none at all ( headlight, taillight, indicators etc ) im thinking bad earth maybe? not even sure where the earth is located.. HELP PLIS.

    Electrickery issues not always quick to find.... trace wires etc, spray connections with electrical spray or crc...clean frame where wires are earthed....

    everything takes time my friend.....
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    I would start by checking out the earth on your battery, I think the wiring loom earth returns to the battery area too (black wire, white trace is according to 1982 wiring diagram)

    does it need a battery in it for the lights and shit to work? it was in when they were turning on and off but ive since taken it out as it had no water in it anyway

    By your first post ... obviously not (all the time) ... but it may complete circuits. Put it back in and try it. (borrow a good battery)
