Second time now. After a long straight out run full speed and then stop... while idling, the pod flashes showing the battery. As soon as I get back on the gas, the flashing stops. I don't ever have any issues starting the bike (Actually starts right up even in cold winter weather).

This flashing is new and I'm wondering if it has something to do with that winch recall sucking power from the battery.

Any information would be appreciated.

 

how much LOAD is on the system when at idle?.............Do you have any extras on the quad ..EX...lights,GPS, ............I would do some voltage checks when at idle ...then rev up to about 3000 RPM and see what the voltage is then............The Battery may not be comming up to full charge........................What is your ride?......................Caper...........

 

Forgot to tell you.....My came on ........But it was the FAN sucking power from the battery!!!!.........................With the key not even in the Quad!!!................Caper..........

Nothing extra on the bike, 1000 miles total on the bike so it hasn't been used much. Like I said, as soon as I hit the gas again, the flashing stops...I just have to touch the gas. AND, the first time was about 2 months ago that this occurred. I've ridden a few times since then when this issue hasn't happened. I'm going to get that recall done with the winch and see if that's what's causing it.

 

just unhook the power cable to the winch and then check it. if it still odes it then its not the winch.

 

Maybe its time for a new battery ?????????

 

maybe your idle is set too low?......What it idle at?........Caper...........
