Check your ground, also try starting it on the selanoid. Tell Paul sr. I said hey!!!

this has happened to my friends yfz a couple of times. i think hes gone thru like 3 batterys now. what is it that accually causes this?

[shelbyyoder#5]

it happened to my new battery in less than a month.. could just be bad batteries or leaving the key on and them draining out alot of possibilities but not to positive wich one.

try cleaning the connectors to the battery with fine gritt sand paper this happend to mine and there happend to be a bit of calcium build up not giving enough power to the starter..happend to me giver a try..
