Default New Battery or what???

My 08 650 TRV went dead the other day when i was out riding. I ended up jumping it and it ran fine until i turn it off. I put it on a charge but as soon as it says charged i try to turn it over nothing except the clicking on the selenoid. Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

+1! If they're loose you've got a problem.

Also check your voltage at the battery. 12.5-13.3 volts sitting / 14.3-15 volts at idle.
that will tell ya if yout bat has crapped out, or your stator is fryed. I ended up going w/ a 2-bat sys on my TRV. Running my plow winch/handwarmers/lights killed the poor stock bat in about 30min. I ran them in parallel w/NP since.

Good luck
