Hello Everyone, Just wanted to say hi and tell you what kind of Yamaha 3 Wheeler I own

It is a 1985 Yamaha 225DR. I just happened to be rabbit hunting on this farmers property and seen it parked beside the barn.
I inquired about it and after some time and a little money I owned it. I am happy to say that this 3 wheeler has given me and my grandson many hours of fun driving around in the fields looking and stopping to explore.

I don't know if this is the time, but I am having some issues with my electrical system. Every time I install a battery, my head light bulb only lasts for a little while before it burns out. Some kind of over charge or something.

I also noticed that the battery is not being charged while
alex and I are riding around on it.

If someone would be so kind as to help me Alex and I would appreciate it.

So I would like to say hi and help at the same time.

Thanks

Sounds like a short/ bad regulator. Some troubleshooting is in order! A downloadable service manual from here or the internet will steer you in the right direction!
