Attention Brethren of the Third Wheel, I am new to the world of using vehicles that require a helmet, so I am need of help. My battery seems to not be charging as I ride. So, my question is how do i go about checking that? My dad is much more versed in this than I am and he tells me it is called a generator, not an alternator. Any help at all would give me more information than i have now, so anything is appreciated. Again, I am very new to this so forgive me if this sounds like a dumb question...
