Default Can't get it started

I have a 2006 Polaris Phoenix 200. Took grandson for a ride. 10 minutes later was going to take grandaughter for a ride and it wouldn't start. When I pushed the starter switch all I heard was a "click" noise. Sonewhat like a regular car when the alternator goes out. Kill switch was not engaged. Battery is only 2 years old. Any siggestions?

A battery that is 2 yrs old might be stretching the limit on age. First thing to do is check battery voltage, needs to be 12.6 volts or higher. If it reads 12,6 or above then do a load test, try to start the motor with meter attached to the battery, if battery drops below10 volts then a cell is bad and battery needs to be replaced. You can also take this battery to a battery testing station and have it checked out. If battery is good then check all connections for dirt and corrosion. Take apart all electrical connections, wife brush them, reassemble and coat with dielectric grease.
