[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]I am baffeled.I went to start my Raptor and no juice.I used a trickle charger and charged it for a while.(till it started)Then pulled the charger off while it was running.It ran for about 5 minutes and died.I tried to start again and no juice.So I thought that the battery was shot and wouldn't hold a charge.I put a new battery in her and she fired right up.Well that was about 2 month's ago.Now if it sit's for 2 or 3 day's the batteries dead.What really confused me was I rode it down to the barn to check the horses and t'was fine.Went to start it to come home and wouldn't start.Does anyone have an idea? I wish I could put a kick start on it.

I agree about the stock headlights,they suck.That's why I built a custom pre-runner front bumper and light hoop.Then installed 2 Hella 500 lights w/100 watt bulbs.Now I can see where I am going at night.My father in law came over with some fancy little gadjet's and tested for a draw anywhere on the bike and came up with nothing.I am gonna put a switch on the poss. side of the battery to keep the battery from draining.If I still have trouble then I know it's the starter.The toggle is cheaper than a starter so I will try it first.Thanks for the info but I hate to hear of the trouble you had.
