Is the AC relay TRIGGERED by the 6v battery or the 12v motorcycle battery??? It should be triggered by the 6v CAR battery. NOT the 12v motysickle battery.

What kind of 12v alternator is used to charge the 12v battery????

Mite need a larger 12v bike battery suitable for electric start bikes which most modern bikes are, even small bikes.

Note that motysickle batteries are notoriuosly short life. Usualy 2 to 3 years. Altho i have seen a few exceptions in 6v's.

So your problem as described is most likely due to battery age and/or alternator output problems.

Most modern 12v cycle batteries and alternators (usualy very small) are good enuf to keep all of the lites and ignition running on bikes at idle speed, unless of course the battery or alternator is going bad.
