Hello everyone.
I went out to Chatsworth, NJ this weekend to take out my bike for the first time since I purchased it. I was told to ride with my lights on to keep the battery charging and to always keep the radiator running.
Well after 5-6 hours of ridding my bike, it just shutoff. I tried to get it started it again and I just started hearing a clicking noise coming from the battery like if it was dead. I got to turn the bike after by poppin the clutch on 3rd gear, but it would shutoff after I start reving it and never start again when I got towed by another quad. I also gave it a boost from my friends car and it started with no problem but will shut off again once i stop reving it.
Could it be that the battery is good? Or could it be that there is a problem with the charging system? Can I recharge the battery someway?
Thanks.
