Nee some help does a roketa db-06 have an alternator?

[andrew_db-06]

I bought a red roketa db06 dual sport 200cc i have put 4500 mile on it and now notice that it will not stay charged. I dont know if i should just buy a new battery or if my problem is much worse. I have no wires frayed or damaged but lm not to sure were to start.

Any help would be much appreciated.. :)

Welcome; we are glad you joined us. :hi:

If you motorcycle has a battery, it surely also has an alternator. ;) Get your bike running with the kick starter. You can also jump start the bike, if necessary. Measure the battery voltage with the bike idling. Continue measuring the battery voltage as you increase the throttle. If the alternator is good, battery voltage should increase as the engine rpms increase.

You can test your battery by charging it fully. A good battery should have a charge of approximately 12.6 volts when fully charged, and it should hold that voltage for many days. If the battery won't charge to that voltage, or the voltage drops significantly overnight, the battery needs to be replaced. ;)
