Battery dying on peugeot speedfight 2 100cc?

if your kickstart is ginding it is likely due to the pinion gear sheared it is a simply operation to change it. Remove the cover by undoing the securing bolts,these are of 2 diffferent lengths so when reassemling replace the shorter bolts first this ensures you don't damage the bolt heads by putting a overlength bolt in wrong boltholes.
Once you have removed the cover you will expose the end of the kickstart,this resembles a half moon,you will notice a smaller gear called a pinon gear with a large spring holding it in place.simply remove this pinion gear, take off spring.Replace the pinion gear with the correct size. there is 2 different sizes, count the number of teeth .Reverse procedure to reassemble.simple...

gary the bike isnt charging,it has a charging system which consists of a charging coil in the stator assembly and a regulator /rectifer that regulates the voltage to 14.4 volts max and rectifies it to direct current(dc) and not alternating current(ac).so if its a good new battery and your riding it far enough for it to take a charge then its one of the above thats not doing it job i reckon.get the voltage accross the battery terminals checked with a multimeter while its running on dc and see what its creating.
