Hey everyone my engine won't keep the battery charged? Any suggestions?

Test your rectifier. They are the most common part to fail in the charging circuit. I believe it is part of the regulator on that motor. Your manual will tell you how to test it.

If you don't have a manual, check out the troubleshooting area at the CDI web site.

You've tried a different battery as well?
