I got this brand new battery a few months back and I only get maybe 3 or 4 starts out it. After that I just get a click and that's it. :wondering The quad does start right up with the pull starter so I just left it go at that. But I really think it's time to get this straightened out. Any ideas?

Is something drawing off of the battery when the switch is off? Disconnect it between rides and see if it holds charge. That would suck if that's all you got out of the battery! Any warranty on the battery, if it turns out to be bad?

a click means the battery is low. you must have a draw somewhere. even if it wasn't charging the battery should get more than 4 starts. check to see if the battery is charging when the quad is running. you need an ohm meter

Well believe this or not I found the problem. Shawn I switched out that seleniod you gave me and it still clicked. I then took the rubber boot off the starter and seen the connection was corroded with rust. Ckeaned that up now it fires right up everytime. :w00t:
No more pullin my arms outta the socket!!! :naughty:
