ok thanks for your reply
Thank you for the other Aprilia url. I think I did find some helpful stuff there.
The Ditech 50 is the 49 cc bike that has no carb, air injection, air cooled. Lots of fun but too slow (barely 30) for most roads unless you pay a few hundred to a mechanic to remove the governor system.
Mine is a 2003 and it's been great, but suddenly the battery is dying fast. I think it's not recharging because I get a 12-volt DC reading when I do what I think is testing it on a multi-meter (not too well informed on electircal) but it doesn't have the punch to start the machine after I've ridden it for ten minutes.
The diagnostics for this that I've seen -- written and online -- are rather vague, so my next step is to try to get a useful illustration of the bike's parts and their locations.
Too often illustrations in the manuals that supposedly are for my bike show other models with generous assurances that they are the same; they are not the same, as it turns out.
So I'll look at the other forum, and my thanks again for the lead.
All the best, Shelleyd
