Not sure, older bikes tend to have alternators but with the size of your's its probably a stator/rectifier unit. Check your manual to test the unit, should be an easy fix once you narrow it down.

I do not have a 175 manual, but the rectifier or a bad connection is my first opinon as well. Welcome to KF

www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xJmpRsIZDYThis video shows how to replace the rectifier on a trail 90. It's a 6 volt system and the rectifier is a universal one from Radio Shack...costs about $4. Might be worth looking into if you find your rectifier is bad. If the link doesn't work, search on youtube for CT90 rectifier upgrade. Also, Oregon Motorcycle Parts Products has a step by step instructions on how to test a rectifier on their site, also might be worth a look.
