125s-are they able to charge batteries?

[V8_mate]

hi
some of you may have read a while ago that i was going to put a chinese 125 on a pocket bike or mini r1 frame. are any of the 125s able to charge small batteries? i would think some are as some have electric start but i'm not sure. i'm planning on running headlights and maybe some other accessories if possible.

cheers
chris

do they have a battery at all though?

i think it depends if they come with all the extra goodies horn,electric start,key start etc etc

all depends, if they have a altinator then most proberly they will, but my 110cc in my quad dosent charge the battery by itself for somereason?

my mate has an old yamaha 80 like that. at idle the horn is a small buzz and the brake light is really dull but when you rev it the lights go bright and the horn screams.
maybe i won't bother with a battery/elec start and w/e as they add weight.

I think most pitbike motors come with the light coil to be able to charge batteries you just need the charge regulator, my thumpstars motor had all the gear in it, i didn't know until i took it out for the innor rotor kit..
