I have to agree with you about post number 2. Don't know what his problem is.

I think you've probably fixed the problem by replacing the R/R. It not only coverts AC to DC current, for most of bike's electrics, but also regulates AC voltage before sending it on to the headlights and tail light.(not the stop/brake light, that's DC) So, unregulated AC voltage from the stator to the headlight, would certainly blow a 12 volt bulb.

You didn't say how old the battery was, fluid levels do drop with age.....did it maybe freeze last winter, and develope a crack? Doesn't really matter...a dry battery is toast. Scooter batteries aren't known for their longevity anyway. My original lasted only 2 years and 3 months.
