I tried to start my 4 wheeler and when I pushed the start button nothing happened. I then put the charger on the battery and it comes up "full charge". I put the battery back on the 4 wheeler and pushed start, but nothing happened. I put the charger on the battery (while its on the 4 wheeler), and it cranked. But if I cut it off, and try to restart it, it doesn't crank. What is the problem??

sounds like a wireing prob to me. Check all your connections, check the fuses, and try to start it again.

i havent ran mine in 2 weeks and my battery is already dead:mad: if you charge your battery and directly put it into the quad, it should atleast click and run your lights. sound like it's not your battery

Run a wire from the negative terminal of the battery to the base of the starter where it mounts to the engine. If it starts, you have a bad ground between the frame and subframe most likely. Quickest fix is to just mount that wire straight from the negative terminal to the starter base.

I had the same problem, but mine ended up being my ground wire. It was broke up where it connects to the battery. I used a differnt wire, and haven't had any probelms yet, other than my batter is a little low. Check all of your wireing and all of your fuses. Chances are you have a cracked/broken wire, or a blowen fuse!
