Hello Everyone:

I am new to this site and was hoping someone here could help me. I just bought a new Honda Rincon and took it out yesterday for the first time. It rode awesome for most of the day but toward the end of the day, I went through a creek and up a couple really steep hills. After a hill I climbed, my quad suddenly quit. I restarted it but when I tried to give it gas, the EFI (Fuel Injection) light came on and it was stall out again. I was able to idle it at about 4 mph but if I tried to put any more load on it then that, it would stall and quit on me again. At one point, I could not even get the display to light up to start it but eventually that started working again..... Anyway, it sounds to me like it may be electrical. Has anyone got any ideas what I can check. I only have about 3 hours on the machine so far and I can't get it in anywhere for service for at least a month.........Thanks

 

Rincons do some pretty strange things if the there is a bad connection to the battery, check you cables, make sure they are securely connected and nothing is wet. Beyond that, I don't know enough about the 06's to say what else it could be.

 

Yeah, I would check the battery connections. Also, you said you crossed a creek. Could be water in an electrical connection.

 

Thank you very much guys. I will check that out. I really appreciate the input. I'll let you know how I make out.
