I would start by looking for the obvious, a loose or disconnected electrical connection. Give the wiring bundle a light pull, especially around connectors.

Hunter,
When I was assembling my bike, I pulled apart and sprayed all of the electrical connections with silicone elec. spray/lube, I'd go through and check all your elec. connections, especially behind the front cowl and let them dry out, hopefully you didn't fry anything... This is something that any China bike owner should do if you may get caught in the rain, hope I could help...

your turn signal/horn/headlight switch plug came dissconnected. foillow the wire from the switch to the connector and plug it back in. tiny zip ties can help solve that.

I was worried about something like this happening when I first assembled the Roketa. Has anyone found a good way to bundle all those wires up? The stock rubber baggy thing doesn't do a very good job of keeping everything enclosed and safe behind the headlight pod.

i taped each harness seperately with 3m electrical tape, then i taped all of the harnesses into one big roll. Now there is no way they are coming apart with out my involvement.

I learned about wire harness taping and routing when i used to do car audio and alarms. Most DIY's dont understand that the type of alarm is less important then how its installed. A professional alarm installer should make everything hidden to the point where another professional can look in there and not even notice it.
