2008 Kawasaki KFX450r Battery Dies Electrical Troubles


Recommended Posts

I have a kfx450r which keeps frying batteries.

I have replaced the battery 3 times already and they will work for 2-3 hours then the next day i go to use the atv i get a FAST Ckick noise in the nose of the atv.

Seems like might be a shorted Voltage Regulator or a bad Stator..?

Is there an test I can do or does anyone have an electronic manual to trouble shoot this.?

This Quad only has like 20 hours on it max....Strangestuff

ATV has ProCircuit Exhaust, Aftermarket Computer.

When it's clicking, do you check the voltage on the battery? If you hook up a charger, will it start?

Is it a condition where the battery is discharging after 2-3 hours? If the battery will not keep a charge, check your regulator/rectifier. If the battery is frying...you will need to do some troubleshooting to see if you have wires that are shorted or a bad connections somewhere.

      Hi everyone. 
      Let me explain the thread title. 
      My husband and I are very active in the nudist community, and we have stayed at many and most of the mainstream nudist and clothing optional campgrounds in the USA. We are now approaching our retirement and would like to start a podcast to share those off the road / backwoods / little known camping areas where nudity is allowed. We have purchased a 5th wheel camping trailer with a rear garage for the ATV and now need some good reports on the one to buy. 
      We are most interested in a side by side unit but would love to get your thoughts. 
      Feel free to stop by and say Hi and ask anything you would like to better understand what we are looking for in an offroad unit. 
      Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you.

      I’m looking for a top end kit for a Yamaha. I would like to see how well the engine runs before spending $6-$7 hundred on oem. Niche has complete kits from $1-$2 hundred.  Anyone have experience with Niche or similar Chinese companies?

      This is something I'm extremely curious about. Has anyone ever attempted to buy a quad (or any other vehicle) from an impound lot? I've always wondered if this could be a bargain, or a waste of time. Google searches do turn up some helpful results. Looks like the state of NJ holds auctions online which I'd be a bit hesitant about.
       
      My online searches haven't really turned up any results of anyone buying an ATV this way. I'd be really curious if anyone tried this, or knows someone who has. I've actually found a couple pages with online auctions for my state, but none had ATVs.
