Ahh, as soon as I thought I had kicked this whole "450er starter problem" deal in the nads and sent it home crying... It came up from behind and got me good. :(

My battery is now shot, starts the quad maybe once and then is dead if it doesn't fire the first time... I'm getting a great 15 amp charge from the quad but the battery is kapoot.. And the starter is also DRAGGING horribly, so I figure I get to fix that now as well.

Thankfully my warranty didn't expire last December.. :rolleyes:

So now I'm looking at spending like 100 cdn $$ on a new battery and who nows how much on a rebuilt starter. Luckily my friends dad owns the biggest Starter/Alternator shop in town and I may be able to get it done just for the $$ of parts.

I wish SOO badly I had gotten a kicker, even from day one that battery needed to be jumped/charged everytime it had some trouble starting.
