Short circuit scooter?
Hello,
I jump-started my Aprillia SR 50 Ditech with a 12-volt car battery, and smoke started coming out of the fuse box. I definitely didn't swap the poles, and I also connected the positive and negative terminals first. The fuses look good. The scooter's ignition was working before, and now the lights are off and nothing else is working. I tried the battery from a working scooter, and everything remained completely dead—no fuel pump or any lights. What could this be?
I've added the fuse box in a picture, the fuses look good but I think there was smoke coming from the wiring harness, fuses are supposed to protect against that but oh well.
If anyone suspects anything, please write.
Thank you

Pull the plug/plug off the ignition lock. Close the battery, keep an eye on whether it’s going on.
if no fuse is flying/ it is likely only the ignition lock is defective (if you have not done any major damage before)
Could the reason for bridging have been a previously existing short circuit, so that the built-in battery has died prematurely? It’s bad to see from a distance, and without my digital multimeter, I wouldn’t find a single electrical fault. These little things don’t cost much anymore, and you can now see if the fuses really have passage or where a short circuit could be hidden.
The only component in the scooter, which is not secured, is the starter, perhaps the problem here?
Your Aprillia is a 2-wheel. They have 6 V and not 12 V. You cooked the battery. Control units, etc., should also be enthusiastic about “white”. It would also have to control the cable harness whether there are contacts coking at “external points” etc… It makes a huge difference whether I have 7,2 V and 6 A or 14.4 V and 6 A pure pump…
Nope, the battery has 12V and 4 amperes, from then on I also have 12V.
50 years ago, it was probably true.
Trz Thanks, do you have an idea?
No, the scooter should have 12 volts
No today all two wheels also have 12V, 6 volts maximum until the end of 80s
6V only have the original Simsons. All since 1990 has 12 V..
Okay, good to know! Thank you. Since I’ve never really been interested in motorized 2 wheels, but even from a very early period I knew that 2 wheels usually have 6 V – if you look off Harley & Co… – even under cars, it’s still relatively long to find in old cars… I guess I’m mistakenly out of the way that this would still be… Line losses can be overlooked in the lengths of the cable harness and so many control units cannot be found, from which it is more likely to be used for standardizing the necessity of…
That was once. Today, 12V is mainly used.
So far we were already – thank you! Also my knowledge that this should be owed to it in order to be able to use unified components, the sense makes it less cost-effective… But no matter!
