2008 Kawasaki KFX450r Battery Dies Electrical Troubles

[garyp53161]

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.
