Hi guys! I have yamaha c3 (xf50 or vox) and last night it behaved very strange. When the throttle was unscrewed to the maximum the speed was 20 km/h and the headlight gave an uncertain light (dim light). I drove a few killometers with maximum speed 20km/h. Than i turned on turn signal. After that the scooter goes faster, in his normal behavio. And the turn signal wasn't blinking - it was always light up. Than i turned off turn signal. And the scooter became an vegetable again - only 20km/h. Every time i was turning on the turn signal - the scooter was going well. Next morning was everything ok. So strange. Any idea why it can happens? Thanks in advanced for any advice.

If this problem just started, check battery connections and battery health.

If you have a 'powered' ignition device, such as a DC operated CDI, the turn signal may have been the 'conductor' that sent ground/current to the CDI. If grounds are corroded, electricity will take the path of least resistance, and a bad ground will make the current route around where it is expected to go. Add in the current/ground that the turn signal bulb & flasher provided, and the CDI might have gotten its full ground/current. I would inspect connections for looseness & corrosion.
