Garett Says: The bike uses the battery to start if using an electric start, the horn, light, etc. run off the battery. The battery turns over the starter and from the point of starting the combustion of gas will continue the bike to run. But it could need a charge4. francisco Says: Yea as for all motor atvs or anything else it need batteries like a car Tag: Do motorbikes use the battery to driving?
