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.

      Nicest riding atv you have been on?
      By Tiha
      I have been working the bugs out of one of our 2013 Grizzly 700's. I like the power steering more than I thought I would. The electric front diff lock is nice. Fuel injection is adequate even if a little doggy and to me harder starting. Ground clearance is nice. 
      But dang these things ride like a hay rack. I usually run down around 5psi tire pressure. Have the shocks set as soft as they will go and these things still beat me to death. 
      Have a 2004 kodiak that isn't much better but then it is not as fancy. I expected better. 
      Got the handle bars down so they are not yanking my arms out of my shoulder sockets on every bump but still. Disappointed.

      Anybody familiar with this noise from my quad? Just started.  It temporarily goes away when I attempt to shift into another gear but shifting has gotten harder too.
       
      Thanks

      What's the best kids atv out there? I've seen everything from the ones released by the major manufacturers to all those knock offs. Kawasaki has a KFX 50 that is pretty nice for under $1800...
