If it wont start by jumping it from a car the bat is not the problem.
Check the ground, also check if you are getting power to the starter.

there is a ground connection to the side case above the left shift lever. clean it with some sand paper and re-connect it.

Ok, I found out that if I keep trying to start it up, really fast, after a few times it turn on! I either have a magic touch, or I think that it is indeed the batter.

I had this problem 2 weeks ago. The starter relay is what is clicking. Like Hossblur said there is enough juice to supply the lights but not enough to crank the engine over. I wouldn't recommend jumping from a car but definately put your battery on a trickle charge and make sure all connections are tight. I guarantee that'll work. If your battery doesn't take or hold a charge you need a new battery. hope this helps. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ok....one more question....I found out it was a battery, got a new one....put the acida and what not, and now when I install it, I get one wire thing connected, but when I try to do the other one, it sparks and the quad jumps. How do I install it?

first put it in neutral and then if it just sparks but stoips once you keep on the battery go AHEAD AND TIGHTEN IT up. Make sure its charged and try starting it
