Sounds like battery is the problem. Get it a good full charge and that may fix you up. If not, you may need a new one....

Sounds like you found the problem for sure.... Bad batteries are a killer when trying to run it...

Just like a car, an ATV is not meant to fully charge a dead battery. They are only meant to top them off and run the accessories (In our case, the lights & ignition).

I would throw in some new plugs while you are at it.

Yep, a DS650 will not run without a battery, as far as the battery from the dealer I would be a little suspect. I would think that a new battery from a known name oughta be good.

Silly question, but typically batteries need to have the electrolyte added when new - as they are shipped dry. Is the dealer doing this and then calling the batteries bad? Or are they forgetting this step altogether? A battery will not function without electrolyte.
