Would anybody have a clue why this 800efi died on me? It is getting power to the headlight, winch, etc. But will not turn over the starter when the key is fully turned. The battery has 12-13 volts . It sucks breaking down 6 miles out in the middle of nowhere riding by myself. Thanks

 

If it doesn't turn over , it sounds like a wire is loose to the starter if everything else seems to work. When the winch was put on, who did the wireing? look under to see if any wires got pinched or cut.

 

i cant answer your question but welcome to the forums..where do you ride in rindge?i live in winchendon and ride all around the area..

 

wiring for the winch was done in townsand at the dealer. I have to check all wiring

 

Power lines here in rindge. also tralier it. I got stuck with it in winchendon yesterday. Where do you ride up here.

 

well i live right off the old railroad bed,in winchendon.i ride from my house up by robins pond,then maybe hit the powerlines that cross 202,or i go the other direction on the railroad bed,head to little manadnock mountain,or head up towards keene.i ride behind the college also..where did you get stuck in winchendon?

 

I ride in Weare and in Hillsborough. I also race GNCC. Also welcome to the forums. There are enough guys here that should be able to help you out.

 

Do you have power to the starter?
What kind of conditions were you riding in, IE: did you get it wet, muddy?
Find out where you have power and where you don't and follow the flow.

You say you have power to your lights and winch which means you have power to your igniton switch in the Run position but do you have power in the start position?

On a new machine its probably a loose wire that the assembaly dude forgot to tighten
Be glad you were only 6 miles away instead of 60.

Good luck

yes have power in the run position. It has a slight clicking sound when trying to start iit in the start position. I was riding in dry conditions. It ran fine until I shut it off.

 

Tap the starter with a hammer. Sometimes they stick.
Im sure you have, but check the terminals going to the starter and make sure they are tight and not corroded. Loose or corroded battery terminals will also cause a click
Also check your voltage drop while engaging the starter. Use a multimeter, directly to the battery and engage the starter. See how much it drops!! Maybe you have a dead cell in the battery.

Another thing, This quad is brand new!! I would have my dealer get his *** out there and get the quad, or if you have it at home, they should be fixing it.

Just a thought
