Default Headlite issues

I got a little suduki lt 160 and the headlite works......but.....brite when it idles and goes dim when I gas on it. Kinda think somethin is wired backward or something.......could the battery be wired backward? I dont know much about electronics.

I don't know the answer to your problem, but the battery is NOT wired backwards. DO NOT reverse the leads!!!

Come on guys. Someone has to know about charging systems...

Strictly a guess but once you rule out a bad ground I would start thinking it's the voltage regulator.
