The electrical system of a trial motorcycle is made up of different components that allow the operation of the lights, the battery, the starter and other electrical elements. Some of the most important components are as follows:
Battery: The battery is the source of electrical energy that powers the electrical system of the motorcycle. On trial bikes, the battery is usually small and light, and is located in a specific compartment under the seat.
Alternator: the alternator is the component in charge of to generate electrical energy to recharge the battery while the motorcycle is running. On trial bikes, the alternator is usually located inside the engine.
Regulator/Rectifier: The regulator/rectifier is the component in charge of regulating the energy generated by the alternator so that it is adequate to recharge the battery and power the motorcycle's electrical system.
Lights: trial bikes usually have a system of lighting including headlights and taillights, and in some cases also turn signals and brake lights.
Start Button – The start button is the component that allows start the motorcycle engine.
Switches: the switches are components that allow you to activate and deactivate different electrical systems of the motorcycle, such as the lights or the indicator steering.
It is important to carry out regular maintenance on the electrical system of a trial bike to ensure its proper functioning. This includes cleaning the electrical contacts and periodically checking the battery and other electrical components. It is also important to use high-quality, motorcycle-specific replacement parts to ensure compatibility and optimal performance of the electrical system.
