Avoid possible electrical problems

[Oyabun]

Upon disassembly of my 2015 LED PCX 125 found this worrying spot.
It is on the right side of the scoot, where grounding cables come together and attached to the frame.
Apparently the copper cable ring and steel frame does not get along very well - so there was corrosion on the less than 2 years old bike.
I suggest that whenever you remove the rear fairing (e.g. for a valve adjustment) look this up and take care of the issue.
One possibility is to clean the surfaces to the metal and use some copper grease to seal oxygen and water out and aid the contact.
Other would be a good spring washer - or the two together.
Have fun, and avoid having electrical issues in the future.

Well I have another one for you. After I had my 2013 bike for about a month I decided to install a tail box. That meant taking off the panel in the back in order to put holes in it. Well, after taking off the cover I noticed a lot of packing, all chewed up and stuffed in among the wires. I put the panel back on and rode it to the dealer. They took it into the service area and took it apart. What they found was half of the wiring bundle for the back was chewed up, and the covering for the wiring that ran to the front was chewed off and was being used as part of the nest for a lowly mouse that must have gotten in there some time along the route, maybe even on the ship. So the bike stayed in the shop a couple of weeks while they awaited replacement wiring bundles. Something to think about when you think your newly purchased bike is perfect.
