Hi guys. I think my quad is a 2002 model. I am having a problem that I am unable to sort out. The bike went well one day and the next when I wanted to start her up the battery was flat. When jump starting it it started easy enough but then when I removed the jump cable the bike cuts out. This continues to happen. As long as I have the jump cables connected it runs perfectly. Remove the jumper and she dies.

Please help!!!

Thanks.

 

Sounds like your battery is bad.

 

Try a different battery and make sure it is charging

 

Thanks Knust for your response. Should the motot not keep running if the magnito is charging and giving current? Surely the motor will run even if you removed the battery?

 

It depends on what is wrong with the battery if it is shorted it will die. i had a brute force i worked on do the same thing. it would nor run without battery.

 

try removing battery hook it to car battery with cables and see if it is charging the battery. dont start the car or you will not be able to tell.

 

Im not familiar with your quad but probably has alot of electronics.

 

Knust I appreciate your input. Why would the motor keep running with jumpers on but cut whan I remove them??

 

if it is not charging it will not stay running. also if it has alot of electronics it may not stay running at idle. but i dont know if it is charging or not yet. that will tell you more where your problem is/

 

Unfortunately I am not with the quad. I am back in civilisation and will only be back in the bush in about a week. When I am in the bush I do not have internet access.

That is why I am trying to figure out what the problem is. I have decided to purchase a new battery and take it from there.

Thanks again for all your help.
