Howdy from Texas! First post. Looking forward to reading more on the forum.

Bought this ATV in Oct 2008....primarily cause GF and I hunt together. Even more, we both like riding together, so this was the perfect setup. Bike's performed flawlessly since day 1....until today.

Went to put it on the trailer to go to the camp....it'd been a while since I'd done more than crank it. Took it down the road to make a short run....make sure everything works ok....and it just died. Will 'crank'...once n a while it'll start....but wont run long...a couple of seconds. The speedo will go blank (flash)....then come back on. Gut feeling is telling me probably the battery is weak...or has a dead cell. Ive got it charging right now.....if it cranks and runs after that.....I feel pretty confident that's the problem.

Any ideas? Comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

      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...

      2006 polaris sportsman 500 ho issues with the unit like the belt is slipping
      By Spritee1
      having an issue with the unit when running under a load up a hill or in high gear, seems like the belt is slipping, there is a clapping sound coming from the primary clutch like it releases and snaps back in. i don't think I should have a noise like that. this is a friends unit and he has already replaced the primary twice with the same result.
      not sure where to look next
