so i just fixed my honda spree scooter. replaced the piston rings. it starts just fine, but the head light and dash light will not turn on. all the other lights turn on with the battery connected, but without the battery no lights work. does anyone know why my head light and dash lights do not work. the lights used to work without the battery but now only the tail light and turn signals work when connected to the battery.

headlight and dash lights run of the stator so your engine has too be running for them to come on. Tail light and blinkers run off the battery.

Bulbs are all fine. Could it be a loose wire?

yes chase the wires and make sure they are all plugged in. if you checked the headlight bulb you should have been looking at the wires for it aswelll.
