Hi folks. I've just bought a used DR250S which has been imported in to the UK from Japan. I've got the Clymer manual and as far as I can tell, this bike is supposed to have a battery - but it hasn't! All the electrics seem to work fine when the bikes running (lights/indicators/etc) and so I guess they are being powered directly from the alternator (or something similar?).
Should this bike have a battery? Has it been wired in some way to bypass the need for one? If so, are there are disadvantages to not having a battery?
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards.
John.
