my friends 02 400ex isnt holdint its charge and lights dont work some times. i thought it might have been the rectifire but that wassnt. could it be his wiring harness or a bad battery.

check your battery first go to batterys plus pick one up for like 30 bucks if thats not it possibly a short in the wiring where in Ak u livin?

dont forget to check all your connections. i had a few loose connections and it made for a rough 10 minutes of pushing before i got it back to fix it.

if its still the stock battery.. its the battery.. buy a new one.. i had the same problem.. I could charge it all night.. but then in the morning it would ony crank a few times then die.. probably cranked for about5 seconds then slowly died..

Replace it with a yt12ab-s.

check and make sure he is not just doing something foolish before you go buy a new battery...like everyone said check the connections

I had the same problem.


all i did was replace the battery and it was fine


a friend of mine also had the same problem but it was a loose solenoid. Anything loose or bad in the electrical would cause it.


start with the easy stuff that doesn't cost anything to check and go from there.
