So today I finally had time to try to start my quad and attempt to ride it.
I havent ridden the quad in a few months, mainly because of lack of time.
The battery was dead so I tried jumping it with a battery jumper box but it wouldnt do anything more than crank so I hooked up some jumper cables to my truck and after about 10 minutes it finally started.
After starting it I let it run in the yard for atleast 20 minutes and then I took it in the woods. I had to make a tight turn after turning around because there was a big tree across a trail and I let off the gas and stalled it. Then it wouldnt start, just click so I had my dad come with my truck and jump it (I pushed it out of the woods). It fired right up on the first crank and I rode it home.
When I got home I shut it off and tried starting it again- no luck, just clicking. Then I hooked up the jumper box again it fired right up and ran fine again.
Ive got it on a charger now. Could the battery really be shot again? Its less than a year old from Napa.
could be a bad battery or you could have a draw on the system do you have and accessories on it like a winch? also the generator could be shot. put a meter on it and check your voltage with the quad running.
napa batts are junk man . id get a yuasa from a bike shop or suttin man . more money but they hold up , also get a battery tender as it keeps the battery up without cookin it
