Do Motorcycles Have Alternators?

Do Motorcycles Have Alternators? This is a very common question and the answer is pretty straight forward too. The answer is maybe. All modern road motorcycles will have one of two different systems in place in order to charge the battery. If a motorcycle did not have the ability to charge the battery then you would find yourself being required to change the battery over almost every time that you went for a ride, this would get very expensive and tiresome very quickly. The motorcycle will either have a generator/magneto or an alternator, both of which will perform the same function of charging the motorcycle battery while the engine is running. This will ensure that you have battery power the next time that you need to start your motorcycle engine.
