MODENAS CT100 PROBLEM: HORN, SIGNAL, AND BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING, WHY?

has anyone face the same problem as mine? 

symptom: horn, signal and brake light not working, not charging the battery, headlight and taillight working perfectly..and bright as well when engine is on.

current state: just change new battery, so should be no problem with battery. but now voltage in battery drop to 7V because my CT100 not charging the battery.

FYI, I have used this motorcycle to commute to my workplace, which is 82 km from my home almost everyday. So, a bit distance travel and very dangerous especially with un-working horn, brake light and signal..

so, I need to get to the bottom of it and solve it.


What i did, was to remove my ct100 body casing and troubleshoot one by one.

1) first, remove the battery connection and try start the engine by using kickstarter. 
Troubleshoot the problem by disconnecting the battery



In my case, engine working, headlight working, tail light also working..but, no signal, horn and brake light..

In this case, i can cross-out the magnet alternator that provide power to motorcycle (alternator is fine as engine is working and light also working). CDI also working because spark plug working.


2) With cover set remove, I notice, there are several visible parts as shown in picture. 
CDi, relay signal, relay starter and katab or rectifier

One is signal relay (provide blinking), 
one is starter relay (provide connection from battery to starter), 
CDI (capacitor discharging ignition to provide power to spark plug for engine to work) and finally katab/ rectifier (convert AC voltage from alternator to DC voltage for battery charging and other component).

In this part, I was not sure which part working and which part not, as I am not able to find any problem with wiring and plus wiring also a bit tricky to trace.

But, I am pretty sure that CDI is fine as in first part, the engine work perfectly even without battery attach to it.

three part that can be bought from local store. quite cheap.

For other 3 parts, not sure which part was the problem.
So, i took the easy way by  just went to local spare part store and buy all three parts which cost me less than RM60 for all.

try and error change lead me to the conclusion that actual part that are not working was the katab/rectifier. 

after replace that broken rectifier, my motorcycle horn, signal and brake light start working. 

Even, my battery also start charging and after several days, I can use my starter again once my battery are fully charged.

So, hopefully this experience help others who have the same problem.

Thank You

      dah tukar rectifier RM28. semua dah hidup tapi cuma perlu pulas throtle utk bunyi hon, bateri tk boleh charge (mungkin bateri dah kong).
      semalam dah tukar bateri koyoko lampu terang, signal pun terang, hon pun dah ok, cuma elektrik starter je masih tk berfungsi. bila tekan bunyi 'tik'tik' je. apa masalah dia ye ?

      Ada beberapa kemungkinan, boleh cube check starter relay samada ok atau tak ok..


      atau jika kerap guna starter untuk hidupkn motor...mungkin juga starter motor carbon dah nak habis. so, nak kene replace starter motor carbon atau replace starter motor.

      atau jika bateri yg baru tukar tu tak fully charge, boleh cuba guna motor dulu untuk beberapa hari sampai bateri fully charge..then baru starter boleh berfungsi. kebiasaannya, starter motor yg dah lama will require more current to crank enjin.

      apepun, cuba dulu..nnt update dengan saya

    Kalau lampu indicator N and top gear tak nyala knp plak? Tak de masalah pn klu takde bnde 2, tp setiap kali ngh bawak motor, asyik lupe dh max gear ke blm, dah nk kne tekan gear lg skali.. Sy dh tukar mentol pun tak nak nyala jugak? Lampu indicator highbeam ngn lampu signal nyala.. Saje nk test buat sendiri 😁

      maaf tak perasan ade komen sbb busy kerja.first check fuse, jika fuse ok..maknanya kemingkinan katab atau wiring la..jika coil problem, biasanya..moto hidup tak lama sebab guna bateri motor utk hidupkn enjin. bateri abis jer, moto akan mati..

      xpayah hantar kedai..boleh buat sendiri jer..
      1)check fuse, if ok (jika fuse asik terbakar, wiring la problem)
      2)buka casing dan cuba tukar katab dulu.
      3) tgk guide sy diatas

HONDA RS150 TPS: RPM TAK STABIL BILA NOT ON THROTTLE DAN PENYELESAIANNYA

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera Isu TPS ni berlaku pada tahun lepas, Ogos 2020 (milage dalam 24000km, baru dua tahun pakai) sewaktu saya on the way ke KL Masa tu tunggang motor full throttle yang menyebabkan RPM nya selalu mencecah ke CUT-OFF (utk makluman, honda RS150 saya ni tak guna ECU custom, masih guna yang standard). Jadi saya perasan, bila selalu tunggang pada RPM yang sampai CUTT-OFF, ini menyebabkan kesan tak baik pada TPS..jadi utk yang belum jadi problem TPS ni..boleh la cepat ganti ECU ke ECU yang tanpa cutoff. APA TU TPS? TPS bermaksud Throttle positioning sensor..bahasa mudahnya alat ni bertujuan untuk mengesan kedudukan throttle body valve dimana udara masuk ke enjin untuk pembakaran. Dengan itu, baru la ECU tahu berapa banyak bahan bakar yang perlu utk pembakaran berdasarkan bukaan valve tu.  Bila TPS dah problem, TPS akan memberi maklumat yang salah pada ECU berkenaan besar mana valve tu buka, jadi nisbah bahan api dan udara jadi tak betul la. maka, tu yang jadi s

HONDA RS150 IACV: IACV PROBLEM? RPM NAIK TINGGI BILA HIDUPKAN ENJIN?

 Hi semua, Salam sejahtera Masalah IACV saya berlaku selepas isu TPS wujud di milage 24000+km..kemungkinan kedua2nya ini saling berkait. Masalah IACV hadir ketika saya on the way balik semula ke Johor, ketika bahan bakar berkurang dari tangki moto. SIMPTOM  ? bila hidupkan enjin honda RS150 saya, RPM akan naik tinggi dan kadang2 sukar dikawal. tengah jalan pun, jika stop di trafik light, rpm akan naik tinggi dan mengaum bising..so, isu ni biasanya disebabkan IACV IACV APA TU IACV? IACV bermaksud Idle Air Control Valve. bahasa mudahnya nak control udara masuk ke ruang pembakaran sewaktu motosikal kita idle (tanpa pulas pendikit atau throttle) iaitu semasa tak bergerak. FUngsi dia mcm choke la pada motor lama yg guna karburator supaya moto mudah di hidupkan dan dalam masa sama injap dikawal dan dikecilkan bila enjin motosikal telah panas. IACV idling control valve (anak panah, lubang udara yang dikawal) APA FUNGSI IACV? Jika kita dah pulas throttle, IACV dah tak digunakan dan valve udara

HONDA RS150: MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES & MOST COMMON SERVICE WORK

Hi all, this is based on the guide book supplied with your motorcycle when you purchased your motorcycle. With this guide table, hopefully, easy for all, planning their motorcycle service. for me, its really useful since I'm doing my RS150 maintenance myself. The list below shows the most common maintenance schedule and what I did for my RS150 (already 22000+km after almost 9 months): Engine oil change, Petronas Sprinta F700: replace every 1600km Oil strainer: clean every 12000km Spark plug: replace every 12000km (can replace with a high-performance spark plug to reduce maintenance frequency) Fuel filter: replace every 18000km Coolant fluid: replace every 12000km following oil strainer clean work Below are is the maintenance schedule from the guide book. Hope this sharing help
