I think i have an issue with my Alternator on my 1980 SR250 , recently my bike just gave up on a stop light, i tried to clutch start it by giving it a push but nothing, i took the battery off, charged it and it started working again.
My assumption was that the battery on this bike is only needed to start the bike and once the bike is started it should run on its own even if you remove the battery ?
Is that not true ?
I tried by starting the bike and removing the negative from the bike and it just stopped, so the bike def doesnt run if battery is disconnected.
Do you guys think its an alternator issue, any other way to troubleshoot this issue ?
Thanks
