Instead, it uses an alternator to produce electrical power. The alternator is located within the engine case, directly attached to the crankshaft.
Here's why it's called an alternator:
* Alternating Current (AC): The alternator produces alternating current (AC), which is then rectified into direct current (DC) for use by the motorcycle's electrical system.
* Generator vs. Alternator: Generators typically produce DC, whereas alternators produce AC.
Therefore, you won't find a separate "generator" on the Suzuki DR650. The alternator is integrated into the engine and serves the same purpose.
