I plan to buy a DT50 but it doesn't come with a battery. The owner said it'll run without the battery, but I've read elsewhere that I shouldn't, as this will burn out the headlight and taillight bulbs. Is this an easy thing to pop in or will I have to cut into the wiring to be able to have a battery on this bike?

Thanks in advance!

It will be a bit of a job to add a battery if the bike is not designed for one , run it without the bulbs it will be ok .

I would think Bob's right, if it's designed not to have a battery then it should be ok, if not then it's a problem with the wiring not the lack of battery, check the wiring over and make sure all the terminals are clean and that the earths are all ok and then ride off into the sunset, if your still not sure then get a local electrical mechanic to check it out for you before you ride it.
