Fried Harness
I recently bought a Lance GSR 150. A twist of one of the rearviews apparently resulted in the front wiring harness melting down all the way to the battery due to a short in the wires going to the rearview turn signal. I am searching for a wiring harness on line, but I've had trouble finding an exact match. The lady I talked to at one web site was a huge help but the connectors on the harness she pointed me to just don't add up. My harness has the light bulbs for the dash along with the signals for the rearviews. Are the harnesses on these sights just the rear i.e. to the engine and accompanying components or am I missing something here. Ideally I would like to purchase the entirety of wiring and just change it all out to start fresh. Any education you can throw my way will be much appreciated.

Alright, this is what I've come up with so far. The section of the wiring harness I'm needing is referred to as the speedometer wiring harness. It has the bulbs in it. Now on partsforscooters they have the 164-190 speedo harness, under supported models it lists the x-treme 150 and this platform looks exactly like my Lance 150. Is there any reason to doubt that it will fit my scoot. They have all the same accessories such as turn signal rearviews along with the same instrument cluster. I can't tell if it has the ABS like mine but I don't think that mechanism is electrically assisted.

I know this isn't helpful, but this is yet another reason to be wary of many Chinese bikes. The wiring clearly wasn't designed by someone competent to do so, if a short to ground results in a blown wire instead of a blown fuse.
This should only be possible in the first few inches of wire coming off the battery or between the generator and regulator. |

Its unlikely your system is DC fired, most Lance are AC.
Lance are not Chinese, they are Taiwanese. It is not uncommon for shorts to cause fires in all makes of bike. Chinese scooters are no more prone to fires than other bikes.

The gy6 universal harness will work fine. You will also have to replace any burned components.
