im not sure what the problem is i think its the solenoid but this is my first atv so not totally sure. i was riding it just fine for half hour or so then stopped for a second and it died. i lost all power lights indicator lights....everything. i thought it was the battery so i cleaned the terminals and reconnected everything. i had power after that but when i hit the starter all it did was click once then the power was gone again. i let it sit for a bit and the N light came on so i tried it again and it just clicked once and power was gone again. i threw the battery on the charger and it said it was fully charged. im not sure what else it could be other than the solenoid so i need some help to know if the problem is deeper.

I'd suspect that a bad connection let the battery voltage drop down too bad levels. ( not charging.) I've said it here before, just because the voltage seems ok doesn't mean the battery has the amperage to do it's job. I'd let it charge overnight & if that doesn't change anything then go searching for other problems. Bad connection somewhere? Stator not charging?.....things of that nature. The way you describe it, it sounds like a dying/dead battery. The battery might regain a "surface charge" on it's own but really needs a deeep charge to get back to proper capacity.

I'm a betting man....& id bet 10:1 that you have a battery failure. If it ran fine with a jumper battery then that tells me all the electrics are functional. If you need to check further with a new battery check the voltage with it shut off ( 11.5-12.5 volts) then check it with the engine running. It should be around 14.4-15 volts. If it's near 16-17, then i'd worry that the regulator might be bad and it boiled out the battery. Like OB said, check the regulator if it's overcharging. Is the battery still full of electrolyte?
