BMS L-Roar - Electric goes on and off w/ vibration

[benn]

Hello!
So I finally decided to buy a new 2011 BMS L-Roar 250cc, actually got it from a local dealer for $1,600 with tax as they moved over to SYM bikes for 2012.

Anyways, after a long ride home I noticed the headlights/dash lights/etc intermittently flicker on and off with the vibration of the motor. I realize this is almost certainly a loose connector, but I just have no idea where to look since I am not familiar with this chassis at all, and I feel like I'd rather fix it in my garage than drive an hour back and forth only to wait at the dealers.

Has anyone had this problem with this model? Or possibly with another model and have an idea which panel I should be removing 70 screws from first?

Thanks!

I dont have the same model, but had almost the same problem. Take the front cover off. The one with the headlights in it. Most of the main harness connectors are behind it. I want one of those l roars ! How does it ride, and is the seat comfortable ?

Thanks!
It feels pretty big and rides pretty smoothly. I was a little concerned about the tiny tires, but I have no complaints after driving it around.
The seat is very comfy, and I like how the amount of foot rest area. Then again, if I'm going above 50mph I usually sit on the passenger seat and duck behind the windshield.

A guy on another forum reported after going over some railroad tracks in a Titan 250 (same model different name.) his lights were flickering, and finally the bike stalled out. He took to the dealer, it turns out a connection in the fuse box under the seat shook loose.

Be careful, those tires are only rated to a top speed of 62 mph. That's why I swapped them out for an Avon Viper Strike up front and a Pirelli in back, rated to 94mph,... and far better quality.

I opened up the front panel behind the windshield and simply tightened up some screws, turned her back on and to my surprise, something was fixed in less time than I expected it to take.

Thanks for the tire advise. The stock ones certainly leave a bit to be desired.
