    I have to say, Good job! I added a push button switch. I attached a female connector with 6 inch lead to the battery. I then attach the matching male connector to a budget trickle charger that I wired to the male connector. I got the plastic battery box with tie down on eBay. I’m going to add a rear combo (tail light, turn signal, license plate light and brake light) I ordered on EBay. Eventually, I’ll add the generator kit to the engine with a 12v rectifier to keep the battery charged.

      That's awesome! Sounds like you are stepping it up a level. I have thought about how to add turn signals and brake light. And I had no idea you could add an alternator to the engine to charge the 12v battery.

      I’m researching it and finding out so far, some 6.5hp have internal charging. You can buy a kit for a 6.5hp if it doesn’t have one. It’s hard to find any mini bike in the Nashville area for sale and I just sold mine for $100 above what I had in it. Guy saw me working on it in my driveway and pulled out cash and bought it for his kid and left! Supply and demand! I might get a CT200

    • @zachcarnett4707
      @zachcarnett4707 3 года назад

      If it comes with a good enough stator you should be fine but usually a battery of this size with a single LED like that will take 40+ hours of constantly being on. Trickle chargers take one night to get them back to full health. Both are fine options but sometimes the small stators alone aren’t powerful enough to get those lights to their fullest potential

    Is it normal to pull the throtle really hard to get full speed out of it? Or does it supposed to be smooth n easy? Also when i let the throttle go mine slows down right away is that normal? Also does the tensioner leave mark from the chain? Mine does and i only have it for 2 days? Plz advise thank u in advance

    • @LifeWithSevenSons
      @LifeWithSevenSons  4 года назад +1

      Yeah, I have to firmly twist the throttle back to get it all the way. I've been thinking about adjusting it to be easier to pull. And yes, it slows down quite a bit when you throttle off. And yes, the tension roller shows some indication of where the chain rolls on it. Seems normal.

    • @LifeWithSevenSons
      @LifeWithSevenSons  4 года назад +1

      Honestly I haven't even measured the battery life. I have only charged it once since March. I ride it at night for maybe 10-15 minutes at a time occasionally. I'd guess you'd get 10-12 hours of power for these little lights. Depending on size of your battery and the LED draw, you can calculate, but I'm not that smart.
