2004 600 Twin wont start
hello all. Im new to the forum. My ride wont start. The solenoid clicks, starter turns once, maybe twin then the dash lights go out. I read though some other posts that suggested shorting the solenoid, but nothing. Is it the battery? All the lights on it work. I am the second owner and have had it for 8 months or so. I have not serviced it yet and do not keep the battery connected to a trickle charger...I also jumped it with my car a few times in the past which I found out afterwards is a no no...Help please. Also, I don't have any fancy tools to check the voltage, etc.

sounds like battery is shot and jumping it off is not good at all also all you need to check the charging system is a volt meter

Thanks guys. I'll try getting a new battery.
UPDATE: Voltage is 11.3 but dips to +/- 3 volts while cranking...is that normal? |

Getting aggravated...New battery is in and the same problem...solenoid clicks, starter engages and turns once or twin, then nothing...Do I need to bite the bullet and bring it to get serviced and take it up the rear?

you have a new battery in it now and still doing the same thing just about has to be the starter,try taking the spark plug out and see if it turns then anyway runs fine when you get it running never have to add water to it or anything

Sounds like a bad starter. Mine did the same thing when it went out. The starter would spin when removed from the motor, but would could not turn the motor over. a new $70 starter from ebay fixed it.
